A minor in music is the perfect complement to any liberal arts major. The Department of Music shares Lourdes University’s mission to offer artistic enrichment to students as complete and unique individuals.
The Lourdes music minor provides opportunities for learning the theory and technique of creating and appreciating music, broadens musical taste and experience, and develops skills and criteria to evaluate music and musical performance.
Many students interested in music may obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree in Individualized Studies with a concentration in music or a Bachelor of Arts degree with a minor in music. Lourdes students may also join the Guitar Ensemble, which performs at various campus events.
Students can audition for the Lourdes University Chorale. Performance opportunities include two formal concerts per semester and various holiday and special university events. Students can also apply for one of the competitive Chorale Music Scholarships open to talented students regardless of their majors.

Lourdes offers students the opportunity to participate in instrumental and vocal music ensembles to supplement a liberal arts education and increase student involvement on campus.
The student-based Lourdes University Chorale is comprised of mixed voices that serves as the base for other vocal ensembles on campus. The LUC performs a variety of repertoire—traditional classical, jazz, popular, and world music—with a goal of enhancing students’ cultural and historical understanding through music and adding vibrancy to the Lourdes Community. Performance opportunities include formal and informal concerts throughout the university and community.
Lourdes A Cappella is a small, advanced vocal ensemble specializing in jazz and pop genres. A Cappella will perform in most performances with LUC, with a few additional performance opportunities. Members of this ensemble are required to participate in LUC and must be in LUC for at least one semester before being considered for A Cappella, unless with the permission of the director.
The Lourdes University Pep Band is an extracurricular instrumental ensemble that aims to increase school spirit through the Franciscan Values of Lourdes University. By embodying a community of learning, reverence and service, our band students gain the chance to become more involved on campus through performance opportunities. The pep band will perform a variety of musical genres at basketball and volleyball games as well as various University functions throughout the school year.

In the fall of 2010 the Lourdes community chose a fight song, Gray Wolf Spirit:
We are the Gray Wolves, come hear us howl We strive for vict’ry, we’re on the prowl
Out on the court or out in the field Gray Wolves fight and never yield
Gray Wolves are brave and Gray Wolves are bold Our loyalty will never grow old
Gray Wolves with fearless stride march forward with fearless pride
Fighting on for victory!
