Welcome to KEMS
Who we are
We’re a music society comprising three sections: a large mixed-voice Choir, an Orchestra and a Concert Band. Our friendly members, who cover a wide age range, have one thing in common: we
take making music very seriously, always striving for the best possible
performances.
The Society celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 2006-7 with a performance of
Verdi's Requiem at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester; click on
the picture below to listen to an extract.

Standard Season
The standard annual subscription covers the cost of joining the Choir, Orchestra
or Concert Band.
There are over 30 two-hour rehearsals each season led by our professional
musical directors, and the subscription covers the cost of all music hire and
costs associated with mounting concerts.
Optional extras
In addition to our standard season we organise a number of optional extra events
and performing opportunities (some of which incur an additional charge)
including a day-long workshop, a programme of summer chamber music groups,
chamber music workshop days and performances at an annual concert at the Buxton
Festival Fringe.
Social programme
We have after-rehearsal pub gatherings each week; a Christmas meal out; a whole
Society Ceilidh; and a range of other informal social activities.
