The Montagu Music Society has been in existence since the 1980’s. The Society normally arranges five concerts a year given by both local and overseas musicians. The year 2009 saw a recital by the Polish organist Waclaw Golonka, the clarinet player Matthew Reid, pianists Kathleen Tagg (from New York) and Ben Schoeman (regarded by many as South Africa’s top pianist) and the acclaimed Hemanay Trio.

The 2010 programme is currently in the planning stage and will include a singer or singers who somehow missed out in 2009. A lighter more entertaining Jazz orientated programme is planned for March and a well known international prize-winning pianist for September.

The Membership fee for 2010 is expected to be R250 per person (to be confirmed at the AGM in 2010). The benefit of membership is free access to five concerts during the year - which we believe is a real bargain in these days of ever escalating costs. Remember that the concert ticket price is currently set at R80 for non-members so membership is really an advantage for the calibre of the concerts we have lined up for 2010.
