Derby Music Centre Concerts
from solos to Grand Finales and everything in between
Each year DMC puts on a wide range of concerts and events. These include end of term performances at Christmas and Summer, a large scale Showcase Gala (usually just before Easter) for all our ensembles to perform in one concert to each other, Chamber concerts for soloists, duets and chamber groups, and lots of additional events that we get invited to be part of. All our concerts are carefully planned to ensure the most suitable venues are chosen for the best musical experiences, whilst also taking into account the audience experience, parking, meal times, holidays, mother's day and so many other factors!
Details around arrival times and tickets will be shared nearer to each event.
Every concert is an important part of the music making experience for all those participating; any missing players or singers on the day can have a huge impact on the other performers and the pieces being performed. Please do put all the dates in your calendars and always let us know as soon as you realise you might have a clash
