About us
The LSESU Music Society is one of the largest societies at the LSE, with its 400 members. Catering for a range of tastes from rock to baroque, the Music Society arranges jazz evenings, trips to concerts, open-mic nights and even boat trips -- these are just come of the exciting and well-received events we’ve held in the past. We pride ourselves on having a great presence among current students as well as alumni and School staff, embracing a greater diversity than any other society on campus.
We also collaborate extensively with other societies such as the Drama Society and their outstanding performances or the China Development Society for the ‘East vs West Music Competition’.
We are home to many ensembles, inclduing the LSE Choir and LSE Orchestra and other smaller ensembles, including the Houghtones, (the Cappella group), the newly-established Chamber Choir, and many bands.
As a member you will gain discounted tickets to our events as well as the rights to book the three Music Practice Rooms. Whether you are interested in performing, listening or anything else musical, you're in the right place!
