(Leavenworth, Kansas) – The University of Saint Mary Music Department invites local musicians to join its Community Ensembles. Open to high school students, college students, and adults of all skill levels, these ensembles provide a welcoming environment for music performance. No audition is required.
The Community Band, directed by Dr. David Vance, meets Mondays from 6–8 p.m. beginning Aug. 25 in Xavier Theatre on USM’s Main Campus – 4100 South 4th Street, Leavenworth, Kansas.
The Community Choir, led by Instructor of Music Jonnie Brice, meets Tuesdays from 6–8 p.m. beginning Aug. 26, also in Xavier Theatre.
Both ensembles will perform in a series of concerts on the University of Saint Mary campus throughout the 2025–26 academic year.
