À PROPOS DE LUUMS

WELCOME, Croeso, Bienvenue, Willkommen, Bienvenidas, Witamy, 欢迎

2032 FRESHERS and CONGRATULATIONS on gaining your place at LEEDS! 

 

We are Leeds University Union Music Society (LUUMS), one of the biggest societies in the University Union. We are proud to have something to offer regardless of your subject of study, higher education provider, musical ability or taste, with eleven ensembles for you to be involved with, four of which are auditioned and the rest open to any ability.

​

We also hold an annual piano and chamber music competition as well as fantastic social events, including trips to the pub, watching concerts in the city, our Friday Feature events and the famous LUUMS Ball.

​

Alongside all this, a number of ensembles tour every year, our latest destinations including Chamber Choir’s tour of Prague, and the Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Wind Orchestra’s joint tour of Belgium.

 

Discover more about each ensemble, find out how to arrange an audition and check out the dates of our upcoming events, including our Give-It-A-Go sessions, where you can try out our open ensembles with no commitment.

​

We welcome you to Leeds and hope to see you in September - be sure to come and say hello at our stall at Freshers week!

Leeds University Union Music Society, more commonly referred to as LUUMS, is one of the largest societies in the Leeds University Union. We have a history spanning back over 80 years, and something to offer you regardless of your subject of study, musical ability or taste.

​

There are ten ensembles for you to be involved with, both open ensembles and auditioned ones, for any instrument or ability. LUUMS is committed to giving the musicians in Leeds a chance to show their talent by ensuring that each ensemble performs a minimum of 3 concerts a year. As well as individual concerts for each ensemble in venues such as the Clothworkers Centenary Concert Hall and the Leeds University Great Hall, we also host two showcase concerts for both the auditioned and open ensembles. These are held in some of Leeds' best concert venues and are a fantastic opportunity for all involved.

​

We also have regular Friday Feature events, held in the School of Music foyer, which are an exciting platform that gives anyone the opportunity to perform in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

Alongside the diverse array of musical opportunities that we offer, LUUMS also has an exciting social calendar. Rehearsals are typically followed by a trip to Old Bar, and the year is packed full of socials for everyone to get involved in. These include large socials in the union with live music and DJs, Otley Runs, Sports Day with the University Big Band and, the highlight of the social calendar, the LUUMS Ball.

​

We have a very enthusiastic committee who are all raring to give LUUMS their all this year. They’ve all loved being part of LUUMS so are committed to making sure you get the most out of your time as a LUUMS member! If you have any more questions, feel free to contact us or come see us during Freshers Week!

MEMBERSHIPS UPDATE

 

Due to rehearsals not being able to start for at least the early part of semester one we have evaluated the cost of LUUMS memberships and made some changes.

 

The cost of membership for FIRST SEMESTER will be £5. This can be purchased on the LUU website and is named STANDARD MEMBERSHIP'. If you're at another University or Higher Education institute in Leeds you will need to buy the 'ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP'. This will get you access to ALL ensembles for semester 1, & all socials and all departmental events for the whole of the year. 

 

The cost of membership for second semester will be £10. This can be purchased on the LUU website (in January) and is named 'half-year membership'. This will get you access to everything LUUMS has on offer for second semester. This will be re-evaluated nearer the time to ensure that this is still a fair price.

 

This is a change from our usual £20 full year membership to reflect the limits placed on the society. We are still aiming to have lots of events and socials, both online and in person, throughout the whole year so will definitely be worth it!
