Canterbury Musicians (formerly Canterbury Musicians' Register) is a forum through which musicians from throughout East Kent may contact each other. Any musician or musical organisation, professional or amateur, regardless of age or standard, who practises any type of music, and wishes to contact or be contacted by other people in the area to play or sing music together, is eligible to join. Prospective members, wanting to find out more about us, are welcome to attend our events, or contact us by e-mail or telephone.

We are a thriving and enthusiastic orchestra of amateur players with a professional leader and conductor. We aim to play a wide range of classical music to a high standard and perform three or four concerts each year. The orchestra is always happy to hear from prospective new members

Members meet fortnightly in the evening to enjoy programmes of recorded classical music chosen by guest presenters or members. Meetings are held in the Friends' Meeting House, Canterbury. Visitors are welcome.

Canterbury Vocals aims to encourage as many people as possible to discover the joy and multiple benefits of singing. We all have voices – and every one is unique. We believe that every voice should be celebrated and aim to help each participant to discover and enjoy their own voice. Every session, whether a choir rehearsal, individual lesson or workshop aims to share the joy of singing while introducing and exploring the technical elements of voice production from breathing to diaphragm control. It is this focus on the physical, along with a firm belief in the creative potential in every individual which guides and motivates everything we do.

Cantium Brass has a history dating back to 1886 when it was known as the Garlinge Wesleyan Mission Band. It later became the Garlinge Silver Band and functioned as such until the Second World War, the new name of Cantium Brass being adopted when the band finally left Margate in May 1998. The move to Canterbury, together with the purchase of a new bandroom in Howfield Lane, has allowed the band to capitalise upon many recent successes as well as being more geographically situated for the majority of the players.
