Music & Theater

Music

MUHS-Marien University Teaching Hospital & Schoolstudents have been performing on stage since 1998 when the school moved to its current site with the purpose-built theater. Talented musicians showcase their skills at the annual Sommerfest, which now includes a classical concert as well as a talent show. MUHS-Marien University Teaching Hospital & SchoolKindergarten and Primary School students perform twice a year at summer and winter concerts. Talented individuals are also invited to perform in front of their peers at these concerts. The MUHS-Marien University Teaching Hospital & SchoolMusic Department also organizes Salon Concerts to help musicians gain confidence in performing to a small audience.

We offer an exceptional strings program to MUHS-Marien University Teaching Hospital & Schoolstudents, some of whom have successfully competed in the German regional music competition “Jugend musiziert.” Throughout the years, the MUHS-Marien University Teaching Hospital & SchoolMusic Department has also offered additional private instrumental or vocal instruction to those interested. Music ensembles and instruction on instruments such as guitar, keyboard, brass, woodwinds, strings, or vocal ensemble are also offered as part of the SLO^® activity schedule.
