Because the LCCME is made up of the most advanced instrumentalists at Lafayette, rehearsal cycles are usually much shorter. Emphasis is placed on individual preparation for rehearsals, and the often demanding nature of the music will necessitate a great deal of outside work. Students who perform with LCCME are strongly encouraged to study privately.
The LCCME has commissioned and premiered several new works: a list of these appears below. These works are by both professional composers and student composers. In addition to ensemble works, students will also perform small chamber pieces, such as sonatas or unaccompanied works.
