The Gravesend Entertainment & Musical Society choir has been performing at venues and raising money for charities around the Borough for more than 100 years.
We hold regular concerts at Christmas and in the Spring where we perform a wide range of musical styles, from operetta to movie scores and have a lot of fun at rehearsals.
As the name suggests, we are a Gravesend based Society and most of our concerts are performed in the North West Kent area. What the name doesn’t tell you is that no, we don’t sing church music unless it is Christmas carols and most of the music we sing is songs from musicals or popular songs from back in the 1930s right up to the modern day with usually a bit of Gilbert and Sullivan thrown in for good measure!
The choir presently has a concert season running from January to May 19:30 to 21:15 hrs and September to December 19:30 to 21:00 hrs every year.
As always, and like most other choirs and singing groups, we are always looking for new voices, especially you men out there. Well, why not try us out for a couple of Tuesday evenings?
Some choir members cannot read music or sight read so there is no need for you to worry if you are the same. Parts for different voices are taught line by line and everyone is very generous about helping each other learn their parts. What we achieve at the end of the day is really very good, even if we say so ourselves!
