Oxford University Music Society

Tracing its origins back to 1872, the Oxford University Music Society (OUMS) is one of the oldest societies in the University of Oxford. The Society was formed in 1916 by the merger of the Oxford University Musical Club, founded in 1872, and the Oxford University Musical Union, founded in 1884. Originally called the Oxford University Musical Club and Union, it changed its name to the Oxford University Musical Society in 1983.[1]

It was founded to promote the appreciation and performance of music within the University.[2] OUMS runs nine ensembles:[3]

In addition to the above ensembles, the Oxford University Chamber Music Society is affiliated to OUMS.[4]

OUMS is supported by the Oxford University Music Faculty.[5]
