Leeds University Union Music Society, better known as LUUMS, is one of the biggest music and performance societies within LUU, with almost 300 members from all universities in Leeds! The society is home to 11 different musical ensembles, to suit any kind of event, with opportunities for instrumentalists & singers of all skill levels. We have 4 auditioned ensembles: - Chamber Choir - String Orchestra - Symphonic Wind Orchestra - Symphony Orchestra And 7 unauditioned ensembles: - Chorus - Composers Collective - Concert Band - Percussion Ensemble - Sinfonia - Symphonic Choir More information on every ensemble & their management teams can be found on their ensemble pages. Throughout the academic year, we hold 3 concert series, giving each ensemble the opportunity to perform the music they have been working on! Many ensembles also hold or participate in additional concerts and performances, such as carolling events during winter! LUUMS members also get the opportunity to perform individually or in their own small ensembles in our solo & chamber showcase dotted throughout the year! After the summer exam period, our auditioned ensembles also go on tour, to countries such as Belgium, Germany & Poland, performing at a variety of venues! Learn more about how you can support our society through our ‘Friend of LUUMS’ scheme.

We had the Chamber Choir for a church service, very punctual and professional. We found them from Channel 5's winter at the farm. Beautiful music.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up around half an hour before performance time. As we provide chamber music, usually a tech system is not required however, this can be tailored to your specific venue.

Can you roam around while you perform?

Yes! We perform acoustically and can roam around upon request.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

You can pick songs from our setlist or provide your own choices. We can play pretty much anything!

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

As we perform chamber music, we are usually not in need of a PA system. However if you are performing in a particularly large venue, an additional fee will be discussed if you require a PA system.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes!
