The UW-Madison School of Music Colloquium Series meets at 4:00pm on select Fridays during fall and spring semesters. Colloquia are organized by the Colloquium Committee, which is staffed by School of Music graduate student volunteers and a faculty advisor. Speakers come from within the School of Music, the larger campus community, as well as from other academic institutions and music-related organizations throughout the United States. All Colloquia are free and open to the public.

We also welcome all interested students and community members to our events.
