Optional Recitals

All non-degree recitals must be scheduled through the recital scheduling process. Availability is contingent upon what is currently open, with priority given to degree-required recitals.

Recital Location

Optional recitals can take place in any available room within the Frohnmayer Music Building. Find room schedules here.

Optional recitals in Beall Hall, Frohnmayer Music Building (FMB) 190 and Tykeson Hall must occur before week 5 in any given term.

Please be aware that video and live-streaming capabilities are only available in specific rooms: Beall Hall, Tykeson Hall, and FMB 190. Audio recording can be facilitated in all rooms.

If using any of those above spaces, students are required to choose a recital time that is designated as a recital slot in the SOMD Productions Calendar. Unfortunately, time slots outside of these designated recital slots may not be accommodated. It is crucial to adhere to the specified recital slots to ensure smooth scheduling and staffing required for recitals.

Dress Rehearsal

All students completing a recital will have the opportunity to reserve the space for a dress rehearsal, subject to availability. Please note that dress rehearsals will not be staffed, meaning students are responsible for organizing and conducting their rehearsal themselves.

Recital Fees & Recording

The SOMD recital fee applies to any optional recital that is presented in Beall Hall, FMB 190, Tykeson Hall, or Collier House, or for any recital that is audio recorded.

For those interested in video recording and livestreaming, additional costs apply.

View the current rates found in the Other Charges, Fees, and Fines for Services, Facilities, Operations, and Programs fee schedule.

To ensure that all audio and video requirements are fulfilled, students must complete the Information & Arrangements Form at least two weeks before the recital date. Failure to do so may result in the student’s requests not being accommodated. It’s crucial to submit the form on time to guarantee that all recording needs are adequately met for the recital.
