Advent Concerts: Matinee and Vivat TUM

A passion for music unites the community of our university. Students, alumni, staff members, donors and friends of all ages traditionally come together for the advent concerts.

Thank you very much for your donations!

About 94.000 EUR were donated at the advent concerts in 2024 for the TUM University Foundation. The money is used by the foundation to support outstanding young scientists and students as well as to promote culture at TUM.

The TUMChoir - The voices of TUM
