Did you know? All of Southeastern University’s School of Music performances are open to the public, and most are free.

We recently attended SEU’s annual Christmas Concert, showcasing favorite holiday tunes and a year of hard work by students + faculty. You can see what you missed on our Instagram, but don’t worry: there’s more where that came from.

Add these 2026 performances to your calendar:

  • Piano Spark: Guest Artist Yael Weiss | Saturday, Feb. 7 | 1:30 p.m.
  • Spring Outdoor Show | Friday, Feb. 20 | 7 p.m.
  • Roger’s + Hammerstein’s Cinderella | Date TBD

Each concert contributes to the experiential learning that students in SEU’s School of Music degree programs can expect, preparing them for various musical careers. One alumnus even competed on “The Voice” this past spring.

Sign up for the SEU School of Music newsletter to be the first to know about upcoming shows, fundraising efforts, and program announcements.
