Recital Fees

All fees are per student presenting a degree recital

Revised October 2015 (Effective January 1, 2016)

Standard Setup vs Augmented Setup

Standard setup with and without video: Includes four overhead microphones to record plus a wireless for speaking, ideal for solo instruments, classical singers (music performance and music education typically, considering they don’t bring a large ensemble that needs sound reinforcement) string/brass/woodwind/percussion and small acoustic ensembles without sound reinforcement, small commercial ensembles that don’t need sound reinforcement and management. Best suited for music performance and music education, theory composition.

Augmented setup with and without video: Includes four overhead microphones to record plus a wireless for speaking, a second wireless is added, plus the use of 16 channels of both the live board and the recording board to accommodate large ensembles like commercial ensembles, jazz ensembles, a wide variety of condenser and dynamic microphones, a front of house engineer, platforms, drum kit, amplifiers, access to cables. Best suited for commercial music, music technology, theory composition (in some cases).

Live Stream Policy

The department will by default live stream all concerts of our major ensembles to the department Facebook page (Symphony Orchestra, Symphonic Winds, JAVÃûÅ®ÓÅ¹Ý Chorale and Chorus, Opera UTEP, and Jazz Ensemble I).  We will also stream all faculty and guest artist recitals unless requested not to do so by the performer (some guests are under contracts that do not allow this).  Directors of other ensembles may request to have their concerts streamed and ensemble directors whose concerts are streamed by default may request that their concert not be streamed. 
 
Undergraduate student recitals will be streamed--upon request and payment of video fee--to their own Facebook page. Graduate recitals will be streamed to the department page upon payment of the video fee and at the request of the student's applied professor. Other events will be streamed on a case-by-case basis.  Please contact Steve Haddad ( sahaddad@utep.edu) to arrange for other events to be streamed. 

NOTE: For undergraduate recitals, the performer must give Mr. Haddad their Facebook login information prior to the event, so he can post your video to your account. 

Videos streamed to the Department Facebook page will be left up for 14 days.  After that time, a produced video of the event will be posted on the UTEP Department of Music YouTube Channel for archival purposes and later viewing.
