New Members and Auditions


Maidstone Operatic has an enthusiastic and talented membership and, in order to maintain our high standards, we need constantly to recruit new members.

Anyone interested in joining Maidstone Operatic is invited to come and watch one of our rehearsals just to make sure that they like us and the way that we do things. Auditions for new members are held in September and applicants are asked to bring sheet music of the piece they want to perform. (We have a jolly good pianist who can cope with almost anything). Successful candidates will be invited to join the Society for either the current or future productions, and will also be invited to join our Concert Party.

Initial applications should be made to our Secretary. You can contact her by clicking here.
