Music in the Orendorff Commons is a series of informal concerts held in the Commons of the Harold S. Orendorff Music Library.
The Music Library occupies a part of the space that used to be the Orendorff Auditorium, so it is appropriate that there be occasional music events held in the same space. These events have emphasized the music and musicians of Pennsylvania. In 2017, this program became a collaboration with the Lively Arts at 亚色影库.
