With over 200 members, University of Aberdeen Choral Society is the largest musical group in the University. It is made up of students and staff from the University of Aberdeen, and of members from outwith the University community.

Choral Society sings a wide-ranging repertoire comprising both accompanied and unaccompanied compositions. They stage three main concerts each season: the popular annual carol concert in December; and two major works, usually performed in November and March of each year. Additionally, Choral Society is often invited to participate in concerts with other orchestras and choirs throughout the year.

The University Symphony Orchestra meets every Monday night during term-time from 6pm to 8.30pm. There are usually two performances a year, one in November and one in March and often the orchestra joins forces with the Choral Society to mount large-scale works. Students and staff from all over the University of Aberdeen make up its membership.
