The Amadeus Experience
Saturday 23rd January 2021
The Maidstone Singers would normally be hosting a ‘Come and Sing’ event at this time but sadly, this will not be possible in the same format.
However, you are invited to join us online to celebrate the work of Mozart, as seen through the iconic film AMADEUS.
We will outline the plot and share snippets of the film, interspersed with an opportunity to sing some of the vocal music featured.
All vocal scores will be shared on screen but will include sections from his operas, the Great Mass in Cm and the majority of the wonderful Requiem.
Registration for the event is a minimum donation of £5.
We look forward to welcoming you to this Film and Sing Night at 7pm. Login from 6:45pm.

The Maidstone Singers was founded in 1998 by Jeffrey Vaughan Martin who fulfilled a long held desire to create a small chamber choir. It is a 20 strong a cappella choir of accomplished singers, and now has an established repertoire of over 200 pieces. These range from choral works dating from the 16th Century to the present day and modern close harmony arrangements of popular music and folk songs. The chamber choir is joined by invited singers for larger choral works and this has enabled TMS to perform the more established choral masterpieces as well as a more intimate repertoire.
Although based in Maidstone, TMS has performed in many locations, including appearances in the Brandenburg Concert Series in London. Touring is an important element of activities and TMS has flown the flag for Maidstone throughout Europe, touring Germany and Luxembourg in 2019. The choir plans to visit Bulgaria in 2021.
Under the leadership of their new Music Director, Kathryn Ridgeway, The Maidstone Singers continues down the path established by Jeffrey of embracing new musical challenges and working with partners both in England and overseas.
