Outside the classroom, students can choose to participate in a variety of ensembles in the Piedmont Triad area and around the world that will prepare them for graduate study or provide them with useful relevant job experience. In 2011, 120 students in the choral department performed a solo concert at New York City\u2019s Carnegie Hall, the most renowned concert stage in the United States. In 2013, as part of the HPU Global Experience: An American Celebration of Music is Italy; students took a 10-day tour throughout Italy performing at some of the most renown cathedrals and basilicas, including St. Peter\u2019s Basilica, Santa Maria sopra Minerva, Siena Cathedral, Santa Maria de Ricci, Florence Cathedral, and St. Mark\u2019s Basilica.<\/p>\n
