COVID 19
Unfortunately, our season had to be brought to a close earlier than expected and, with great regret, we cancelled all our concerts from March 2020 until June. This has been a challenging time for everybody in the world of performing arts and one whose effects will linger for some time. Faversham Music Club has brought music to the town for 74 years now and, though a pandemic has blocked out path, we hope to present more concerts in the course of 2021.

We have not launched a season as usual in September on 2020 as it is difficult both to make plans but also our audience capacity is reduced enormously in the Assembly Rooms, Faversham as we observe the social distancing rules. We plan to offer some concerts in 2021 and to provide individual tickets for these events rather than membership.
DONATE
Our work and the cost of promoting and putting on concerts is heavily reliant on the membership fees and ticket income during any season and during the Covid-19 crisis this has obviously stalled. We are very keen to bring musicians to Faversham, to make sure that we can employ musicians in these challenging times and to keep the Faversham Music Club operating beyond this point and into its next quarter century. If you would like to Donate to the club then please follow the simple link below:

In March 2016, Faversham Music Club acquired a brand new piano on loan from the Blüthner Foundation. This fabulous instrument, situated in the newly-refurbished Assembly Rooms, offers an enormous range of music-making opportunities for the Club.
