Established in 1912, QUMS has a proud history of performing for the Queensland public. Generally QUMS performs two major concerts each year aligned with the university semesters. They also perform in smaller events as they occur including co-operative events with other musical organisations. They typically have one major activity for the end of the year, usually carolling in shopping centres and other locations. In recent years these have included Westfield Garden City, The Treasury Casino and the Queen Street Mall. QUMS is often hired for Weddings, Functions, Special Events and other Occasions.

QUMS offers a friendly environment in which music lovers of all ages and from all walks of life can enjoy singing a variety of works. They perform music of all genres and eras, renaissance to modern, in a wide range of venues across Brisbane/South-East Qld.
