Performing Arts
By combining the constantly innovative nature of technology with traditional art and performance, RIT is breaking new ground in the realm of artistic experience.
With musical theater, classical orchestra, jazz, pep band, dancing, and singing, there’s a wide array of performing arts opportunities for students at RIT. Students also get involved behind the scenes, with set design, sound, and lighting crews. Each year, roughly 2,000 students participate in performance groups and activities, and student performers come from all nine RIT colleges.
Donor gifts provide program support for an ever-growing variety of performing arts groups, including a Gospel ensemble and seven a cappella groups. Performing arts scholarships and student support funds give students the opportunity to hone their skills while pursuing a multitude of degree programs across campus.
