The Friends of Lund University Academic Orchestra (Akademiska kapellets vänner, AKV) can be described as a support society for the active Lund University Academic Orchestra, but also offers its members opportunities to socialise through music in various ways. The society was formed in 1999. Its popularity is reflected in its growth – it now has over 200 members. Most of them have studied in Lund at one time and played in the Lund University Academic Orchestra, but the society is open for all those who are interested.

Membership

The society has just over 200 members, but there is room for more! If you are in Sweden, you can become a member by paying in SEK 200 to PG 425109-6. Clearly state your name, address and email address. Please also state the musical instrument you play, and, if you have played in the Lund University Academic Orchestra, when you were a member.

Musical salons

The society’s salons bring together members and active orchestra members for informal concerts and socialising. Everyone is welcome! Sundays 15.00-17.00 at Kapellsalen, Palaestra et Odeum.

Since it was formed, the Friends of Lund University Academic Orchestra has annually granted two scholarships to deserving members of the Lund University Academic Orchestra.
