Welcome to QUMS!
The Queensland University Musical Society (QUMS, pronounced "kwums") is a historic non-auditioned community choir based at UQ's St Lucia campus. Singing since 1912, we welcome singers of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities, whether or not you're connected to UQ.
New members are always welcome, with no auditions. Find out how to join, or come along to a rehearsal.
Rehearsals
QUMS rehearses at UQ's St Lucia campus on Wednesday nights from 7.00 PM to 9.30 PM, with a break in the middle. We follow the core UQ semester dates, with a later finish in November and December for the annual carolling season. We keep our official Google Calendar up to date with rehearsal locations and other key dates, so please add it to your own Google Calendar to stay across everything QUMS.

We pay our respect to Elders past, present and emerging and honour the continuation of the oldest musical practice in the world.
Queensland University Musical Society acknowledges the continuing support of the University of Queensland Union, of which we are an affiliate society.
