WHO ARE WE?

Keele Philharmonic Ensembles (KPE) is a friendly, student-led musical community encompassing both an orchestra and a choir. We welcome members from both keele uni and the local community.

KPE ORCHESTRA

We play a wide range of classical repertoire in a relaxed, supportive environment. We're largely student-led, but have a professional conductor to help us get the most out of our rehearsals and performances. We're here to make great music, improve our playing, and most importantly have a good time doing it. 

We suggest roughly Grade 5/6+ level, but there are no formal requirements or auditions. If you play an orchestral instrument, we'd love to have you come along!

KEELE VOICES

Voices is a classical choir. We sing a wide range of choral music with a professional conductor. You don't need to be an experienced singer to join us. Whether you've sung in choirs for years or just enjoy singing, everyone is welcome.

WHEN & WHERE?

• Voices Choir: Thursdays · 17:00–18:30
