Freshers '09
Welcome to the Imperial College School of Medicine Music Society. We are the largest traditional society within the medical school with well over one hundred members and we hope to be able to cater for whatever taste you have in music— if your idol’s Alexander Borodin or Axl Rose we have a group for you and you don't even need to be a medical student. Most importantly, we do out best to cater for whatever standard you are at– whether you have never sung before in your life (most of our members, all of our committee), or whether you are Mozart in the making, and all of this in a light-hearted, sociable environment, with really surprisingly low levels of public humiliation.
Besides the jolly social scene we put on eight very high quality concerts a year—this year we featured on the BBC’s Songs of Praise, and we are singing in the Albert Hall in October! This year we have launched a new scholarship for one freshers every year and next summer we are going on international tour! Find out more below.
We will be holding a MusicSoc Freshers Mingle on Saturday 10th October in South Kensington. Leave your details here to be the first to hear the final details... Also, feel free to e-mail me, Rupert, the chairman of the society with any questions.
More about the individual groups...
| Orchestra, is not only the most fun orchestra at Imperial (probably the world), with plenty of socials, weekends away, and post-rehearsal drinkies; we also find time to play some top notch music ranging from Mozart to John Williams. We rehearse Tuesday evenings from 7pm in the Reynolds Music Room. |
| Choir rehearses on Monday evenings from 7.30pm in the Drewe Lecture Theatre.. We sing a wide variety of music ranging from well-loved classical pieces (Mozart et. al) to Broadway favourites. There’s no need to audition and we welcome singers of all abilities with plenty of solo opportunities for the more confident musicians! |
| Looking to play in a band? Need a place to practice? Music Society has a ‘Music Room’ in the basement of the Reynolds with an installed PA system, microphones, full drum kit, bass amp and pianos (upright and electric). Come find us in the Reynolds Music Room on Sunday 11th October at 8pm to get together and have a jam. |
| The chamber choir is our smaller choir and is auditioned (but please don’t let this put you off giving it a try!) It is a four part choir and performs a wide range of music. There are plans afoot, including Bohemian Rhapsody, Ave Verum and possibly even some Disney Classics. We rehearse before main choir at 6.30pm. |
| Jazz Band meets every Sunday evening, from 8pm in the Reynolds Music Room. This, of course, allows easy access to the bar for post- (or even pre- and during-) rehearsal drinks! Having only been formed in January 2009 we have since played lots of gigs in a very short space of time, and hope to be even bigger and better this year. |
Everything else...
| New for this year, MusicSoc is introducing the 'ICSM Music Society Scholarship' for one fresher every year. The scholarship will give you free music lessons for the first three years of university and will be awarded not only to the best musician, but also someone who has really got involved with the society. |
| MusicSoc Freshers Mingle '09 On Saturday 10th October, it is time again for the infamous 'MusicSoc Freshers Mingle' held, this year again, up on the roof terrace off the Physics Common Room. Its a great opportunity to meet lots of the new faces to meet current society members on a relaxed evening after the chaos of Freshers Week. |
| Next summer, July 2010, we will be going away on international tour. We have just decided on a location; Budapest, the lovely Eastern European city. Our tour managers are working hard to make sure it is going to be the best tour ever. Do have a read of the latest from tour camp... |
| On Friday 30 October 2009 we head down to Southampton an exciting weekend out of London, just when you need a break! We will sample much of the local nightlife, have a bit of extra rehearsal time, and then put on probably the best concert you will ever play to the locals... |
| Choir to sing at Royal Albert Hall ICSM Choir, for the first time this October will have the opportunity to sing at the Royal Albert Hall as part of the IC Commemoration Day Service, joining forces with IC Choir. We will be performing the Howell's Hymn for St. Cecilia. The whole medical school has the day off, so there is no reason not to get involved! |
