The Chamber Choir is part of the larger parent society, LUUMS, in which there are two choral groups. This is the smaller, auditioned ensemble and the choir perform challenging and exciting repertoire, both sacred and secular, on a regular basis around the city. The conductor Matthew Oglesby draws experience from Blackburn and Leeds Cathedrals: the first as a chorister and the latter as Choral and Conducting Scholar. All members of the choir are students at the university and come from a wide range of academic backgrounds.
