Who were we?
Midhurst Music Society (MMS) had been providing the Midhurst area of West Sussex with live Choral concerts for the past 56 years. Concerts may
require orchestral accompaniment and include orchestral items. This support was provided by local semi-professional musicians and occasionally by
other instrumental groups. MMS was directed by Mary Knight.
What did we do?
We performed classical choral works and part songs, in public concerts and smaller recitals, supported by other training and social activities. We also
sent representatives to sing with the Petersfield Musical Festival, which gave us the opportunity to enjoy performing large choral works. We supported
young musicians as they began their musical careers and we wanted to encourage the appreciation of and participation in choral music in the
Midhurst area.

Farewell to MMS
The MMS Committee has, with great regret,
decided to disband the Society.
MMS was not able to recover from the effects
of Covid and from the increasing age of
its members. We thank all those who have
faithfully supported the Society for so many
years and for the great music that we have enjoyed
making together and for 56 years of service to
Midhurst and other local communities.
