About us
109 years of music making - perhaps even longer, as although we produced our first musical show ‘Mikado’ in 1898, there is evidence suggesting we had been performing sacred and solemn works since 1862.
In our early days Gilbert and Sullivan shows were performed, sometimes singers came from the D’Oyle Carte Opera in London to take part. As time went on popular costume shows alternated with the ever popular G & S.
Now the Society tends to perform modern musicals. We use the Hazlitt Theatre, Maidstone. This is an ideal venue seating some 360 people, which allows us to perform to full houses for the week of the show.
Members take part in concerts usually performed for worthy causes. These concerts give us much fun and raise considerable sums for local charities.
