We have information about all the music societies at college and will be advertising all the exciting music events throughout the year. 🎼 College music Societies 🎼
🎷 🎺 Big Band 🎷 🎺
Van Mildert's premier big band, we play a variety of tunes for big band and jazz orchestra, and are always looking for new players! We are a friendly college big band, and are always on the lookout for
new players, young or old, beginner or experienced musical hand. Contact us to find out more if you're interested!
🎤 🎼 Choir 🎤 🎼
Van Mildert College Choir is a friendly choir that welcomes singers of varying abilities. It is also one of the few non-auditioned choirs in Durham and sings to a high standard. Students from any college can feel free to join the choir. We annually perform in events like the Van Mildert Showcase and the Carols by Candlelight Christmas Concert. We also occasionally sing evensong in Durham Cathedral with some of the other neighbouring college choirs as we come together to sing popular choral bangers! We aim to host a couple of other special events like last year’s Opera by the Lake in which we sang with a number of opera singers like the internationally renowned baritone and university chancellor, Sir Thomas Allen. We look forward to welcoming you to Van Mildert College!
🎸 🎹. Jam Soc 🎸 🎹
VM JamSoc is the society for you if you like to play and perform live music and want to meet others who play too. We run fortnightly Jam Nights in the bar with different genres, and send out a list of suggested songs for people to join in with, singing or playing their instrument. We usually end up playing songs not on the list too! We've also ran and judged a Battle of the Bands night at Mildert for the more competitive. JamSoc is also heavily involved with the running of Jam by the Lake, a great summer festival event that takes place right on Tees Lawn. Hope you'll come jam with us!
