Our main performance opportunity is the fortnightly Lunchtime Concert series, which takes place every other Thursday in the School of Music Concert Hall at 12:30pm and are free to attend. All MuSoc members are welcome to sign-up to perform at these concerts which are included in the membership pacakage. The LTC themes can be found on our Instagram, where you can also sign-up to play. This year our concerts will be livestreamed on our YouTube Channel (although if you don't want your performance livestreamed that can be arranged)
Socials
Our regular socials will be a mix of alcoholic and non-alcoholic events, and are a great way to get to know other musicians and members of the society. Look out for updates on our socials page as well as our Instagram and Facebook pages for upcoming socials!
MuSoc Ball
At the end of the academic year, we host an annual MuSoc Ball. Last year, this took place in the Marriott Hotel joint with Jazz Society and Brass Band Society and was an amazing event. We had live music, a three course meal, a photographer and end of year awards. We can't wait to host another one this year!
