Making music daily.

You can always find us making music in Voxman Music Building, whether our concert hall stage is full of orchestra members or a single musician is rehearsing in one of our high-tech studio spaces. You can catch our performances via livestream or watch a previous recording.

Can't make it in person? We have select live performances streamed in real time right here.

Concert recordings

Our YouTube channel is a treasure trove of concert videos, along with videos showing a glimpse into life as a music student at the University of Iowa.
