Cal Poly Soundings is the annual multidisciplinary collaboration produced by Cal Poly’s Music Department, bringing together student composers, innovative technology, and original dance choreographed by the Theatre and Dance Department. Guided by Soundings Director Julie Herndon and Dance Director Diana Stanton, this program showcases the creative energy of Cal Poly students and faculty across disciplines.

Each edition interprets a unique theme through fresh compositions, live performance, and movement, with past concerts archived on SoundCloud and YouTube for fans to explore the journey of this evolving project.

Upcoming editions bring new voices to the stage. The 2025 edition, Music in Color, features ensemble Longleash and takes place over two performances at the PAC Pavilion.
