A Long and Valued Tradition

The music tradition at Hampton University began in 1868 when the school first opened its doors as Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute. For 70 years, the Department of Music has been an integral part of Hampton University academic and cultural life. Throughout these years, the department has sustained excellence in Choral and Instrumental music as well as in educating and training performers, music engineers, and teachers of music.
