Welcome

Hertford College Music Society is one of Oxford's largest student-run music societies. We have several active ensembles, including an orchestra and wind band, as well as a traditional Chapel choir. We run a very popular and successful Lunchtime Recital series, for which concerts are every Wednesday at 13:10 in the Chapel.

Uniquely in the University, all our ensembles are non-auditioning, although we do perform at a very high standard.

Hertford has a reputation for being friendly, and members of all colleges are welcome to join any of the groups. Please explore the site for more information on the Society and its activities, or join us on Facebook or Twitter.
