Welcome to Music at the University of Leicester

The University of Leicester offers many opportunities for students to make music - by auditioning for a music scholarship; joining an appropriate student-run society; setting up your own group; or performing in a range of concerts - including solo recitals!

Because nobody is reading Music at Leicester, the opportunities for musical undergraduates and post-graduates are all the greater. There is nobody to say: "the music students come first!"

We are now pleased to announce that the world-renowned Philharmonia Orchestra and the University have created a new partnership - the first of its kind between the Philharmonia and a university - that will provide a new platform for high quality music to be developed and showcased to a wider audience.

The partnership will bring illustrious musicians from the Philharmonia onto campus to provide masterclasses to students, thereby helping to nurture the next generation of talented musicians.

The University has enhanced its range of musical scholarships and this new agreement will also enable students of the University to attend Philharmonia concerts at heavily discounted rates, alongside exclusive opportunities to attend rehearsals and meet Philharmonia musicians and artists as part of social events around the concerts.

Further information about events and courses being held at The Embrace Arts at the RA centre and elsewhere on the University campus.
