Access to the Ensemble Library is limited to the directors of the URI Music Department’s major performing ensembles:

• Concert Choir
• University Chorus
• Symphony Orchestra
• Jazz Program
• Symphonic Wind Ensemble
• Concert Band

Only those students serving as graduate assistants for the ensembles above and those URI Music students with written permission from one of the directors can borrow form this collection.

The scores for the Concert Band and Symphony Orchestra libraries are kept in the Music Resource Center and, with the exceptions noted previously, may only be perused upon request within the MRC confines.
