This is the new website for the Thames Concerts Society. It contains details of the 2007/2008 concert season, starting in Autumn 2007. You can also read the Press Release issued ahead of the next (or most recent) concert. You can use this site to find out more about the Society, and how to join or support us. There are some photos of Kingston Parish Church on the Pictures page.
Thames Concerts was formed in 1960 to present classical music in the superb acoustics of Kingston Parish Church. The Society concentrates on an Autumn/Spring season of top class professionally played concerts in that ancient environment in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames.
The Society is run by a committee of volunteers who bring together financial support from individual Members and Friends of the Society, the Council of the Royal Borough, and sponsorship from many local businesses. We also aim to support musical education and the musical curriculum in schools via our programme of music. We present a programme of interesting and attractive concerts in an informal and friendly atmosphere using internationally known artists, conductors and orchestras. We are grateful to all who enable us to fulfil our aim of ensuring that outstanding music is available to the community in Kingston.
