Contact: Kevin Gould, Head Manager- kag2148@columbia.edu
In the 50s, our great country was going through a lot of changes. Disco was at its peak, little Shirley Temple was charming the hearts of Americans everywhere, Jesus was walking the earth, and Ronald Reagan was pushing hard for the new women's suffrage movement. The Columbia University Marching Band, which had always been slightly wacky, took a good look at itself. "How," we asked ourselves, "could we make being in a marching band even more fun?" Well, we decided that the whole marching around and forming rhombi thing had gone out of style with World War II. So we introduced the world to the "scramble band" concept--so named for the way bandies would scramble from one interesting formation to the next. As Band became more popular, people who didn't play stuff started to join solely as an outlet for their cleverness.

The Collegium Musicum is one of Columbia University's leading choral ensembles. While traditionally maintaining a lean, intimate chamber choir size of 16 to 40 members, the repertoire of the last 10 years of the Collegium has included ventures into such ambitious repertoire as the Brahms Requiem, in collaboration with the Manhattan School of Music choir and Columbia University Orchestra. Founded in the mid-1950s, the Collegium was first conceived as an opportunity for graduate students in musicology to experience early music in a performance context that was tightly integrated with the academic curriculum. It soon developed into an ensemble featuring instruments as well as singers (with world renowned music scholar Richard Taruskin as its first gambist). The staple repertoire of the Collegium has been Medieval and Renaissance composers such as Machaut, Josquin, Palestrina, Ockeghem, Tallis, and Byrd as well as Baroque composers such as Monteverdi and Bach. The Collegium also has a commitment to perform works which are not frequently performed, as well as 20-th century and contemporary music. Recent examples of this are concerts featuring the works of John Cage and Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms. The Collegium has served as a springboard for former directors, some of whom have founded notable ensembles including Capella Nova (Richard Taruskin), Pomerium (Alexander Blachly), and Anonymous 4 (Susan Hellauer), and Eric Rice (the Collegium Musicum of University of Connecticut). Historic recordings of the Collegium can still be found at http://minstrelrecords.com/Coll_Des.htm

The Computer Music Center at Columbia University is an innovative and exciting music and arts technology facility with a long history of creative excellence. The CMC maintains workspaces in two separate locations: one in Dodge Hall on the main Columbia campus (1/9 train to 116th Street), and another, larger facility on the third floor of Prentis Hall (1 train to 125th Street). There are many opportunities for involvement in CMC activities. Students, researchers and creative artists working at the Center come from many different divisions within Columbia University. The primary mission of the CMC is to operate at the intersection of musical expression and technological development, and as a result the Center has become involved in a broad range of interesting projects. The CMC has also produced events aimed at reaching out to a wider community, both locally in New York and globally in a number of different international venues.

Creative Rounds is an amorphous but lovable community of writers and artists that exists within the CUMC community. Every month, we meet to share works of creative writing and visual art that we’ve produced. Occasionally, published physician-writers from around the country attend our meetings to share their unique perspectives with us. All members of the CUMC community are welcome to attend and participate in our fun and informal gatherings. Even if you don’t feel comfortable sharing your own art/poetry/fiction/nonfiction works, you’re welcome to come to our meetings if only to observe, absorb, and offer constructive criticism. We like seeing new faces and hearing new ideas. Whether you’re an amateur wordsmith or an experienced draftsman, a published poet or a first-time photographer, consider joining our supportive and inclusive group.

Current Musicology (CM) is a leading forum for scholarly music research, seeking to reflect the forefront of thought in historical musicology, ethnomusicology, and music theory, as well as music cognition, philosophy of music, and interdisciplinary studies. CM was founded in 1965 by graduate students at Columbia University as a semiannual review that would primarily serve the needs of musicologists who are about to undertake, are presently engaged in, or have recently completed their graduate studies. From its inception, the aim of the journal was to publish short articles of research, criticism, and opinion, predominantly by younger authors. The term 'musicology' in the journal's title is to be understood in the broadest sense possible. The wide scope of the journal is evident in special issues devoted to specific topics, in the broad range of scholarship encouraged, and in the variety of books reviewed.
