Performing Arts at Wyoming Seminary
The fine and performing
arts are an integral part of a Wyoming Seminary upper
and lower school education. All upper school students
are required to take a music and an art history course,
and they can choose from a range of visual art and music
electives.
Actors, artists, dancers and musicians develop their
talents in a variety of performances and exhibitions.
The Wyoming Seminary Players present a musical and two
drama productions annually, while the Dance Company
presents one major production annually.
Student musicians may perform in a wide variety of vocal
and instrumental groups such as the two orchestras,
instrumental ensembles, chorale and the select Madrigal
Singers. Each year, Sem's talented students earn regional
honors in vocal and instrumental competitions. Even
in the summer students will discover a thriving musical
community at PAI (our summer Performing Arts Institute).
Students interested in fine art may take classes such as drawing,
painting, photography, printmaking and ceramics.
While studying music and art history, Sem students visit
some of the finest museums in New York City and attend
performances in world-renowned halls such as the Lincoln
Center. Those who want to expand their knowledge of
visual art or music may choose from among several advanced
art and music courses, such as AP Art and Music History,
a unique class that explores the creative spirit of
both music and art.
Wyoming Seminary is known throughout the country and
abroad for the quality of its arts programs, its high
performance standards, and the exceptional talents and
experience of its faculty and students.
