Society Membership
CAOS welcomes everyone, no matter your musical background. Whether you're a seasoned musician or a complete beginner, you’ll find a supportive and inclusive community with us. Our society is a non-audition society, meaning that anyone who enjoys singing or plays an orchestral instrument is welcome to join and we’ll do our best to find a place for you!
Why Join?
Becoming a member helps cover our essential costs like sheet music, venue hire, and other running expenses. They grant you access to our subsidized socials, have a say in the direction of CAOS and help us have more recognition with the Student Unions.
Who can join?
Anyone! Although we’re a student-led society, we welcome all who wish to join us. Many of our members are from the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University, but we have members from other Universities and all walks of life, from across Manchester and beyond!
