Somerville Music Society

About SMS

It gives us particular pleasure to welcome you to Somerville Music Society, affectionately known as SMS. As the musical lifeblood of the college, we are keen for you to come forward and get involved, whether that be singing in the chapel choir, forming a band or developing your solo work through our regular concerts.

Even if you’ve never considered yourself a 'musician' before, if you’re interested to find out more we are a great place to start, through one of the Friday lunchtime recitals, our evening concerts or an SMS organised visit to hear Oxford’s finest musical groups.

With such a diverse range of activities going on, both in Somerville and around Oxford generally, you’ll find plenty of opportunity to develop your musical interests.

If you want to get involved in organising musical events at Somerville and use the college's practice facilities, please select one of the pages below to find out more. Details of our concerts, recitals and socials can be found under Events.
