Praised by iconic composer Morten Lauridsen as \u201cSuperb&#8230;in the top rank of university chamber choirs in the United States,\u201d this mixed ensemble performs a diverse variety of repertoire from the entirety of the choral canon, but specializes in works by living American composers. As a part of SOU Music Department\u2019s Contemporary American Vocal Music Initiative, they regularly participate in commissions, premieres, and recording projects, as well as annual interdisciplinary concerts themed on relevant social issues, including such topics as climate change, accessibility, and neurodiversity. They also regularly collaborate with area arts organizations, such as the Rogue Valley Symphony, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Rogue Valley Chorale, Southern Oregon Repertory Singers, and have been a featured ensemble at conventions for the National Association for Music Education.

Packed with songs that fist pump, head bang, shimmy, and shake, MUSIX&#8217;s albums swing through a diverse array of styles \u2013 everything from rock to pop, hip-hop to folk, indie to metal. MUSIX typically releases an album per year, performs regularly both on and off campus. MUSIX typically opens the Oregon Fringe Festival each spring with their Rock Show Gala and kicks-off the summer music scene in Ashland at the SOU Jazz in the Park Concert.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k52t5wsg-30-0986d100410c149c60669e68745249ab\">\n#top .hr.av-k52t5wsg-30-0986d100410c149c60669e68745249ab{\nmargin-top:0;\nmargin-bottom:20px;\n}\n.hr.av-k52t5wsg-30-0986d100410c149c60669e68745249ab .hr-inner{\nwidth:100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-k52t5wsg-30-0986d100410c149c60669e68745249ab hr-custom  avia-builder-el-32  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image  hr-center hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1xuym9z-29-ac9454452fd0023138fda96edde92bca\">\n.avia-image-container.av-1xuym9z-29-ac9454452fd0023138fda96edde92bca img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-1xuym9z-29-ac9454452fd0023138fda96edde92bca .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-1xuym9z-29-ac9454452fd0023138fda96edde92bca av-styling-no-styling avia-align-  avia-builder-el-33  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_heading '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/01\/SOU-Chamber-Ensemble.webp 1200w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/01\/SOU-Chamber-Ensemble-300x129.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/01\/SOU-Chamber-Ensemble-1030x441.webp 1030w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/01\/SOU-Chamber-Ensemble-768x329.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/01\/SOU-Chamber-Ensemble-705x302.webp 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/01\/SOU-Chamber-Ensemble.jpg\" height=\"514\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/01\/SOU-Chamber-Ensemble.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/01\/SOU-Chamber-Ensemble-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/01\/SOU-Chamber-Ensemble-1030x441.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/01\/SOU-Chamber-Ensemble-768x329.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/01\/SOU-Chamber-Ensemble-705x302.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" class=\"wp-image-71442 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-71442 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"SOU Chamber Ensemble\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  > <\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3lolxm6-436335e3fff5e550796436f3cb73120a\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-3lolxm6-436335e3fff5e550796436f3cb73120a{\npadding-bottom:0;\nfont-size:24px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-3lolxm6-436335e3fff5e550796436f3cb73120a .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-3lolxm6-436335e3fff5e550796436f3cb73120a .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:24px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-3lolxm6-436335e3fff5e550796436f3cb73120a .av-subheading{\nfont-size:16px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-3lolxm6-436335e3fff5e550796436f3cb73120a .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-3lolxm6-436335e3fff5e550796436f3cb73120a .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-3lolxm6-436335e3fff5e550796436f3cb73120a av-special-heading-h3 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-34  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock  force-pop-20 av-inherit-size av-linked-heading'><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Performance Chamber Ensemble<\/h3><div class='av-subheading av-subheading_below'><p>Various Directors<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-18tompz-28-1638f2ba61f127750858614b60ebb634 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Students work in small ensembles with intensive performing preparation.

performances of classical music to those living in and visiting the communities of Southern Oregon.<\/p>\n<p>Under the direction of Music Director Martin Majkut, the Rogue Valley Symphony (RVS) presents from September through April a Masterworks subscription series of six concerts, each of which is performed in Ashland, Medford, and Grants Pass. Diverse repertoire by the greatest classical composers of the past and present, combined with renowned guest artists, create exceptional performances. The RVS also offers gorgeous Holiday Concerts in December, and a family Discovery Concert in Medford once each year.<\/p>\n<p>The Rogue Valley Symphony is made up of professional musicians from the local area and beyond. Some musicians come from as far away as Portland, Eugene, Sacramento, and even the Bay area \u2013 attracted by the beauty of the area, the opportunity to work under Maestro Majkut, and by the chance to perform interesting repertoire in a supportive working environment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"
