The Dead Composers Society is a haven created for all lovers and followers of classical music.  We are a student-run organization at University of California, Santa Barbara sponsored by the Associated Students.  

We meet on Monday evenings from 9:30 to 11:00 PM at Lotte Lehmann Concert Hall.   

At each gathering, there will be a mix of live performances by student musicians, viewing parties on the big screen, lectures & discussions on music, games, and of course, food!  We will also organize group outings to concerts both in the Santa Barbara and Los Angeles areas; UCSB Arts & Lectures, CAMA SB, Santa Barbara Symphony, Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and more.

Society membership is open to ALL students currently attending UCSB.  There is a $5 membership fee per quarter and you must pass a "Dead Composers Quiz" before a full membership is granted.  This requirement is waived for all music majors at UCSB and for those already in the University Symphony Orchestra.  Please contact us at deadcomposerssociety.ucsb@gmail.com for more information.
