Welcome
Who are we?
Midhurst Music Society (MMS) has been providing the Midhurst area of West Sussex with live Choral concerts for the past 48
years. Many of our concerts require orchestral accompaniment and include orchestral items. This support is provided by local
semi-professional musicians and occasionally by other instrumental groups. MMS is directed by Mary Knight.
What do we do?
We perform classical choral works and part songs,in public concerts and smaller recitals, supported by other training and social
activities. We also send representatives to sing with the Petersfield Musical Festival, which give us the opportunity to enjoy
performing large choral works. We support young musicians as they begin their musical careers and we want to encourage the
appreciation of and participation in choral music in the Midhurst area.
How do I join?
We welcome new members to sing with us. You don’t have to be able to read music - we will show you how it’s done. Just come
and enjoy making music together. Contact our Chairman or Secretary or just come along to a rehearsal.
We rehearse on Monday evenings, at 7.45pm, usually in the Methodist Church Hall, North Street, Midhurst.
During this Summer period, Midhurst
Music Society is recognising the 200th
anniversary of Jane Austen’s death in
1817. A commemorative programme,
based on songs and other music known to Jane Austen and her family, that she copied into her
music manuscripts, is being researched and rehearsed for concerts in Midhurst and at other venues
in the Autumn of this year.
New singers are warmly invited to join the MMS choir for the anniversary concerts. Rehearsals are
held in the Methodist Church Hall, Midhurst from 7.30 onwards and will begin in late August. Actual
rehearsal dates will be announced soon. New Singers do not have to read Music as full guidance will
be given and you are assured of a warm welcome.
