Get Musical with MUMs

The Manchester University Music Society (MUMS) is the official Music Society in Manchester and gives our 400 members a chance to perform in more than 55 concerts a year – more than any other university in the country! Highlights this year include Symphony Orchestra performing Tchaikovsky’s 6th Symphony and Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite, we accompanied the University Chorus’s performance of Bach’s B minor Mass and performed Beethoven’s 5th – all to to sell-out audiences.

We have ensembles to fit nearly every interest. From our Big Band gigs in Club Academy to the Ad Solem Chamber Choir performing Poulenc’s Mass in G to the Manchester University Wind Orchestra winning national wind band competitions, we are diverse and cater to every taste.  Furthermore this year saw the societies first ever fully produced opera, Handel’s Semele.

We have both auditioned and non-auditioned ensembles so everyone can take part. If you would like to perform with us, auditions happen every September and January.

Over the next few weeks we have many upcoming concerts:

– 16th March, 7:30pm – Ad Solem (Chamber Choir)

– 17th March, 7:30pm – Wind Orchestra (MUWO)

– 20th March, 7:30pm – Big Band

– 23rd March, 1:10pm – Mahler’s 4th Symphony (Admission FREE)

If you’d like to get a feel for the society as a whole, join us for our three day Summer festival, Estival, that runs between 5-8 June – more info on that will be coming your way shortly.

All of our events take place in the Martin Harris Centre for Music and Drama. Admission is £4 for students however, if you become a society Member, you gain free admission to every concert as well as the chance to perform in them.
