Lauren Chye

Hello, I'm Lauren, hoping to be your Mezzo Orchestra manager! I've been a member of UCL's Music Society since last year and am fortunate to have been involved in String Orchestra and (one term of) Symphony Orchestra. Other than that, I might've met you at social events or other places outside of Music Society :) 

I originally volunteered for the position of Mezzo Orchestra manager when it was just a concept. I was drawn to the idea of an music ensemble that is accessible and inclusive. I want the Mezzo Orchestra to be a fun  and welcoming space, where orchestral musicians of all backgrounds are given an opportunity to grow musically and relax in a social atmosphere outside of academia. I sincerely hope that Mezzo Orchestra has been exactly that; if not, I'll keeping trying my very best! 

Orchestra has been such a big part of my life ever since I joined my first one seven years ago, and I've had my fair share of experience of leadership in an ensemble setting --- initially as viola section leader (2020-2023) to president (2021-2023) of my high school's String Orchestra. I'm dedicated to ensuring that you have an enjoyable and hassle-free experience during your time with the Mezzo Orchestra! (Except for practicing. That you have to do on your own... Sorry...) 

If you have any questions or suggestions for Mezzo Orchestra, please don't hesitate to contact me --- I'd be more than happy to help! See you at Mezzo Orchestra!
