This page is part of the offer-holders section for students who have been offered an undergraduate place at Christ's College.
There are lots of opportunities for keen musicians at Christ's! As well as the College Music Society and the plethora of other musical groups of all kinds around the University, there is an Instrumental Awards Scheme to promote chamber music amongst students. This is an intercollegiate scheme which is open to students at all Cambridge Colleges.
