Our ensembles

Our university is home to a large number of ensembles and choirs, through which our students can gain valuable practical experience.

The so-called central ensembles play a fundamental role in degree courses and are usually formed from various institutes:

• HSO München (Hochschulsymphonieorchester)
• Hochschulchor
• Madrigalchor
• ensemble oktopus

Most of the ensembles are assigned to our institutes and are therefore linked to specific degree courses. They play an important role as training ensembles for ensemble practice, choral conducting or orchestral conducting. These ensembles include, for example:

• Münchner Schulmusik Orchester (MSO)
• Schulmusik Chor München
• Teachers’ Finest Bigband
• Salsa Band
• Kirchenmusikchor
• Munich University Jazz Orchestra
• Barockorchester
• VOLTA Ensemble
