Many of our graduates have successful careers as professors or lecturers at colleges and universities in Texas, the U.S. and abroad. Others work with music publishers or in large research libraries.

Performance opportunities are available in any of our ensembles and orchestras, among them the award-winning Baroque Orchestra and the Collegium Singers. With UNT's extensive collection of period instruments, our early music ensembles are among the nation's largest and most active, performing regularly throughout Texas and the U.S.

Musicology students have also collaborated in editing works by Claudio Monteverdi, which have been published by the distinguished German publisher B?renreiter.
