Welcome to KEMS
Who we are
We are a music society comprising four sections: Macclesfield Singers (a large mixed-voice choir); Macclesfield Symphony Orchestra; Macclesfield Concert Band; and Macclesfield Contemporary Ensemble. Our friendly members, who cover a wide age range, have one thing in common:
they take making music very seriously, always striving for the best possible
performances while enjoying themselves immensely.
