magdalene was the first college to offer instrumental awards to talented undergraduate musicians and is proud to include amongst its alumni a long roster of distinguished thespians of the likes of michael redgrave and julian fellowes. it is appropriate then that the college is currently home to an enormous fund of musical and dramatic talent. this talent finds outlets both within college and outside it. magdalene men and women are prominent in the wider university's orchestras and theatre groups but also continue to enrich the college's cultural life through a number of societies the most prominent of which are:

the magdalene musical production society (mmps)
the magdalene drama society (mds)
the college music society
the magdalene college film society (cripps clips)

the college choir is also a vital part of the fabric of the college's life, lending its considerable talents both to the daily life of the college chapel and to the performance of secular works in concert programmes throughout the year.

further details of all of these societies and their activities can be found by clicking on their names above and also in the termly magdalene email

anyone wishing to offer support to college music and drama is encouraged to contact the alumni & development office for information on the wyvern trust - a trust set up to support these vital areas of college activity.
