Queensland University Musical Society
“A community choir since 1912 — open to all, no audition required. Not restricted to university students.”
Society Coordinator, Committee Member
The organisation
Queensland University Musical Society (QUMS) is a community choir established in 1912 — making it 114 years old. Based at the University of Queensland's St Lucia Campus in Brisbane, QUMS is open to all members of the public regardless of age or musical ability. No audition is required and membership is not restricted to UQ students. Wednesday night rehearsals (7:00–9:30pm) and semester concerts like "Hear Her Voice" (featuring women composers) form the core calendar, supplemented by choir camps, ANZAC Day ceremonies, and community performances.
The challenge
Managing a 114-year-old choir with 3,093 contacts means handling semester-based memberships, concert ticketing, choir camp registrations, ANZAC Day ceremony coordination, and communications to a diverse membership of students, alumni, and the general public — with a custom domain and custom mail domain.
How TidyHQ helped
TidyHQ manages memberships, concert event ticketing, choir camp registrations, meeting records for governance, and communications — running on a custom domain at qums.org.au with a custom mail domain. With 3,093 contacts, the platform preserves 114 years of musical tradition.
The outcome
TidyHQ isn't just Queensland University Musical Society's back office — it's their public face too, powering both operations and their website.
- 3,093 — Contacts in the database
- 1912 — Year established
- 10+ — Years of operational history preserved
From their public website to membership renewals to event management, Queensland University Musical Society handles it all from one dashboard. New committee members inherit a working system, not a collection of logins and spreadsheets.
