Arts and Culture

Arts and culture enhance students’ capacities for critical and creative thinking in a variety of modes and enrich the experiences of the entire community. In cooperation with the Office of the Provost, we will improve the coherence of our utilization of the wealth of cultural resources available on campus and in the city through a variety of initiatives.

For 10 years, the Daedalus Quartet has been a major musical presence at Penn. As ensemble-in-residence at the Music Department, the internationally acclaimed quartet has been enhancing cultural life on campus as well as the undergraduate music curriculum. See the Daedalus Quartet’s 60-Second Lecture performance, “A Degenerate Dance: Music from Between the Wars by Erwin Schulhoff.”
