Students may attend the UNK string faculty/student showcase recital, and present their own concert in the UNK Fine Arts Recital Hall.
Seniors who participate in the 2020 UNK Festival Orchestra will automatically be awarded a UNK music scholarship in the amount of $800 should they then choose to pursue a music degree (major or minor) at UNK.
