Free and low-priced concerts with UNC Music Department this fall

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Music Department presents many concerts and music events every year, by students, faculty and visiting artists. Many of them are free. These concerts are always enjoyable.

The music department is not only excellent for music students and valuable for the UNC student body, but is also a great resource to the community.

The music department also hosts guest artist performances and lectures.

The concerts that are not free are very affordable ($5-$10) and often fund music scholarships for UNC students.

These are the addresses of the venues:

Memorial Hall
144 E. Cameron Avenue, Chapel Hill

Hill Hall
135 E. Cameron Avenue, Chapel Hill

Person Hall
