The University of Cambridge Philharmonic Orchestra
'It's a dinosaur!'
UCPO is a fun, friendly student-run orchestra that welcomes players of all abilities. There are no auditions, regular pub trips, Easter term garden parties, memorable annual dinners, and the best post-concert parties in Cambridge. Hurrah!
We hold a concert once a term and aim to present classical music in a fun and unpretentious way.
If you're interested in joining, whether you're new to Cambridge or not, please check out the how to join page for more information. We welcome non-university members as well as undergrads, grads and staff - email the committee if you want to know more.
