The School of the Arts takes pride in hosting its weekly Lunch Hour Concerts.

Every Thursday afternoon, from 12:40 to 13:20, students and staff have the opportunity to indulge in a complimentary concert held at the Musaion.

The lineup showcases a diverse array of talent, featuring performances by acclaimed pianists, vocalists, international orchestras, string quartets, and local jazz musicians. Additionally, students from the School of the Arts are granted the platform to showcase their skills in preparation for examination recitals.

The primary objective of the Lunch Hour Concerts is to enrich the cultural experiences of both students and staff, while also serving as an educational platform to expose audience members to a variety of musical styles and traditions from around the world. Ultimately, these concerts aim to kickstart the weekend on a high note for all attendees.
