MIT Music & Theater Arts
About
MIT Music and Theater Arts brings together three programs at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: Music, Music Technology and Theater. The Music program develops students’ creativity, talent, research skills and aesthetic sensibility through performance, composition, analysis and the study of music in its historical and cultural contexts. Its scope covers a broad range of traditions, including classical, folk, pop, jazz and global music spanning diverse eras and cultures.
Music Technology is a multidisciplinary field that bridges science, engineering and the arts while keeping the humanistic and artistic aspects of making music at the center. Its classes and research cover audio signal processing, musical acoustics and audio effects, interactive music systems and electronic music composition. The Theater program treats performance as a vital lens for questioning, understanding and creatively responding to the complex forces that shape the world.
