University Music at the University of Birmingham
University Music is the heart of extra-curricular music making at the University of Birmingham. Open to all students, staff, and the local community, there are over 40 different ensembles you can get involved in, along with competitions, concerts, and an extensive health and wellbeing programme.
Symphony Orchestra to University Chorus, Jazz to Folk, Brass Band to Early Music, we offer a wide range of opportunities to perform with like-minded musicians under the guidance of our professional team. You can even run an ensemble yourself through the University Music student committee.
New for 24/25
The new academic year sees the addition of regular sessions for the South Asian Ensemble following a successful workshop in the Summer term. We also welcome University of Birmingham Gospel Choir as they join the University Music family for the first time this academic year, having previously run independently of our programme.
