The Encore Program

Encore The Encore program is our innovative performing arts requirement gives credit to students for attending performances in theatre, dance and music during Term I and Term II of the freshmen and sophomore years. Encore provides an opportunity for students to broaden their experiences and deepen their knowledge of the performing arts through attending and learning from high quality performers.


  Encore Mission Statement

Our primary goal is to create conditions increasing the likelihood that appreciation of the performing arts in general, and of classical music in particular, will widen and deepen during the first two years at Elmira College. This goal is achieved in part by increasing the number and variety of performing arts events (in music, dance and theatre) which students experience.

The variety of performances include:

  • Classical music
  • Ethnic music
  • Dance and Theatre events
  • Elmira College performing arts ensembles
  • Clemens Center events
  • Waiver events
Experience the World of the Performing Arts!

Take advantage of your Elmira College experience! The Encore staff will do all we can to offer you a professional and diverse performing arts program. We invite you to sit back and enjoy. Exposure to music, dance and theatre provides the opportunity to explore your own culture and the cultures of others, to become acquainted with the world of the arts, and to learn about yourself.
