✨NO MIU CONCERTS UNTIL 2025✨

This is just a reminder that there will be no more Music in the University concerts until the New Year!
We are currently very busy putting together our 2025 programme, which will hopefully be launching soon.

In the meantime, there are other events and concerts programmed by student societies to attend, including the Choral Society's performance of Handel's Messiah (30/11/24), which Music in the University are supporting.

We hope you all have a wonderful festive period and look forward to seeing you in the New Year!🎵
