PLU has been teaching music for 130 years

“I’m confident that here at PLU we can give you an experience that will make you a much better player, whether you choose to pursue music passionately or professionally.” – Svend Rønning, PLU Professor of Music – Violin; Coordinator of String Studies

PLU offers the most comprehensive music program of any private university in the Pacific Northwest. String majors and non-majors alike have access to a rich culture of opportunities to perform orchestral music, chamber music, and early music (taught by professors with extensive professional experience in authentic performance and baroque strings), as well as opera and musical productions and, of course, solo recitals.
