Overview
About the program
The Department of Music at the University of California, Riverside is committed to training a new generation of music scholars who bring insights into cultural theory and cultural studies to original research based on solidly grounded, finely detailed ethnographic and archival work.
Our composition program offers a broad approach to writing music that is deeply informed by current critical debates and emphasizes the social and cultural contexts of the musical experience.
Our program has strong emphases on Southeast Asia, new media, and indigenous studies across the American continent, and the greatest concentration of scholars on Latin American and Spanish music in the United States. Communication between the intradisciplinary areas is built into the program.
