TeesMusic brings together forthcoming events planned by amateur choirs, orchestras, chamber music or opera societies, bands, etc, in and around Teesside (UK). Every group has its own Society Page, containing membership contact details, rehearsal times, its own website and social media links if available, and details of all future concerts or shows. The Concert Diary page then displays all registered events in chronological order, with a link for each event to the appropriate Society Page.
TeesMusic depends on each Society e-mailing the Site Editor periodically to keep their own Page up-to-date – see the Contact us page. New Societies are always welcome to join, and one-off charity events can also be included.
As many of you will be aware, Tom Banfield, who set up and managed this site on behalf of local leisure-time musicians for 25 years, died at the beginning of February. My name is Andy Devine and I have taken on the management of the TeesMusic site. You might know me already as a double bass player or from Teesside Music Society. I will endeavour to do as good a job as Tom did, however it will take me a little time to get to grips with how everything works, so please bear with me. Please email Site Editor (teesmus@gmail.com) with any required updates.
I do hope Societies and audiences find this a useful resource. Please publicise this TeesMusic website in your concert programmes and forward the link to your musical friends as well. Thank you
Andy Devine
NB The separate Tees Music Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/musicteesvalley/ is aimed at musical children along with their parents and music teachers. It publicises local events involving young musicians, and has no direct connection with this Concerts website – there is of course room for both sites. If you have suitable material to post there please email zhanmusi@hotmail.com
