Music

Why Pembroke?

Our Music community is diverse and active, with students admitted to read Music at Pembroke from a wide range of schools and colleges, and with very different musical experiences. 

We have a thriving Music Society which attracts talented musicians from a wide range of academic disciplines. As well as our Music students, we aim to have two Organ Scholars in residence at any one time. Find out more about other musical activities at Pembroke below.

We have excellent facilities onsite and nearby:

  • Pembroke is located only two minutes from the Music Faculty
  • Our Pichette Auditorium provides a modern and spacious recital space housing our Steinway D piani
  • Our Chapel is home to one of only three Létourneau Organs in the UK.

Could you become a Pembroke Musician?

Candidates require a lively interest in music of all periods. They must also have the ability to analyse scores, compose stylistically, assimilate a wide variety of musicological approaches and write lucidly about them. Candidates need to be taking, or have taken, A-Level music (or a qualification of equal standing) and at least two other subjects (arts or sciences).
