A word from Rosalind Ridout, CUMS SO President 2014-2015: “CUMS Symphony Orchestra gives university students the unique opportunity to play some of the world’s greatest orchestral repertoire to an exceptional standard. Working with distinguished conductors such as Martin Yates and Graeme Jenkins, our players are given both rehearsal and performance experience that is second to none. With rehearsals taking place regularly throughout the term, the CUMS Symphony Orchestra quickly begins to feel like one large family and the social events we organise are a lot of fun as a result!
