After four wonderful seasons post-Covid explore what concerts we shall offer in our 84th Season 2025/26
Canterbury Music Club was established in 1941 to bring top quality musicians and music to the people of Canterbury in their darkest hour. This tradition continues to this day, when we welcome some of the finest classical chamber musicians in the country who have performed for us in the past four seasons such as Matthew Rose - bass and the Kentish Piano Trio; as well as artists new to Canterbury Music Club such as Lisete da Silva Bull - Baroque flute with Robin Walker - harpsichord and the ensemble Passamezzo to explore music for Christmas in 17th Century England. Our 84th Season concludes with the dazzling Kosmos Ensemble with music from around the world.
As one of the few music clubs who continued streaming live performances throughout Covid we shall maintain video recording throughout the new season. However for this season online streaming of both live and recorded performances will be restricted as a benefit for our Members.
We continue as Guests of the Gulbenkian Arts Centre at the University of Kent, with our full season held in the magnificent Colyer-Fergusson Hall with its beautiful acoustics. As previously all seats are unreserved, which allows audience members to select their preferred seats for individual concerts. All concerts for the 84th Season will be on Sunday afternoons at 3.00 pm commencing on Sunday 28th September 2025. We look forward to meeting you for the first time, and to greeting old friends once again.
Membership for the season is available at a considerable discount over individual ticket prices. Added benefits include free parking on site and programmes. Tickets are free to students and young people age 25 and under.
Finally Canterbury Music Club thanks all of our individual Patrons and our Sponsors for the season. Without everyone's support we should be unable to present such a high quality programme in such a wonderful venue.
Concerts
We are delighted to be able to return to the magnificient Colyer Fergusson Hall at the University of Kent for our 84th Season. We shall make use of seats in the stalls, while performances are on the floor. Subject to agreement with individual artists all concerts will be live streamed for members only. All single tickets are on sale through the Gulbenkian Box Office and links are included for each concert.
Membership
Membership of Canterbury Music Club represents tremendous value for money. Membership this season is £140 for eight concerts, which includes free parking, free programmes, free video links for streaming recitals live or recorded, interval refreshments, and frequent updates on performances. Membership is transferable should any member not be able to attend an individual concert in person. Cost of membership will reduce by £17.50 per concert missed as the season progresses. We should be delighted for you to join our Club with like minded members who enjoy listening to live music.
