The string faculty at The University of Alabama offers a comprehensive musical education with individualized mentoring from a world-class faculty. Our tradition of excellence and commitment to developing outstanding musicians and educators lives on in alumni playing in orchestras around the country, teaching on university faculties, and working in every corner of the field. As a student here, you can count on a well-rounded, interdisciplinary musical education that prepares you to step out into the world equipped for success.

We are committed to immersing students in the dynamic culture of the 21st century musical landscape, while also honoring and passing on the great traditions of the past. We offer more than 200 performances each year, including our 12 student ensembles, faculty and student recitals, and guest artists. As a string student, you would be a member of the 80-piece Huxford Symphony Orchestra. There are also opportunities to immerse yourself in other types of ensembles through chamber music, early music, and contemporary music groups.
