Cambridge University Chinese Orchestra Society (CUCOS) was founded in 2007 with the aims of giving a new musical perspective to communities in the UK, and sharing oriental music. The Society consists of a Chinese Instrument Division (CID) and a Western Instrument Division (WID).
As the only orchestra of its kind in Cambridge, we hold annual concerts featuring both traditional and contemporary Chinese music at the West Road Concert Hall. We have also given delightful performances at numerous recitals, the Chinese New Year ball, and the CSSA Gala.
Formed and run by students, we recruit musicians, conductors and any music lovers all year around.
If you are interested in finding more about our society, please do not hesitate to contact us!
Hi, CUCOS. I’m now applying for Cambridge undergraduate courses and very interested in the Cambridge Chinese Orchestra. Is it open for students from any colleges of Cambridge, or must I apply for certain colleges in order to have an opportunity to join the Chinese Orchestra?
Thanks and Regards,
Chen Chen
The orchestra is open to students of any college, and in fact some non-students join in as well.
