The Hastings Music Society has been providing Hawkes Bay residents with the opportunity to enjoy the vast musical talent held within the region and beyond for over 90 years. The Society was started in the early 1930’s holding concerts from private homes of members.
Today the Society holds concerts each month between March and November at St Matthews Anglican Church in Hastings. Each concert is arranged by a Convener who will organise the performers and obtain the programme.
Concert entry $5 cash at the door.

UPCOMING CONCERT “Voyager” Sunday 13th Sept
The Hastings Music Society are proud to host the Bay Cities’ Symphonic Band for our September 13th concert. “Voyager” will be an exciting musical journey not to be missed. See the “Voyager” video, on our website: http://www.facebook.com/share/16D1kkKnoSW/
Since the dawn of humanity, we have been driven by an irresistible urge to explore. We have crossed vast oceans, climbed towering mountains, ventured to the extremes of our earth and beyond – all in search of discovery, adventure, and possibility.
In conjunction with the Hastings Music Society, the Bay Cities’ Symphonic Band presents ‘Voyager’ – a musical expedition celebrating humanity’s spirit of exploration through tales of courage, curiosity and the enduring wonder of the unknown where every note charts a new course!
Alfred Reed’s, ‘Armenian Dances’ and ‘El Camino Real’ feature in the programme alongside Edvard Grieg’s, ‘March of the Trolls’, and Hans Zimmer’s, ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End’. Other highlights include the multi-talented Mami Koizumi playing a Euphonium solo; Tyler Grants’, ‘Under the Ice’ showcasing a dramatic percussion section; and the Sunday Buffet trio of James Bevin (bassoon), Chris Pike (bass clarinet), and Laura Grady (French horn) portray a haunting rendition of ‘Misty Mountains’.
All this and more for only $5 cash at the door! Get yourself along to St Matthew’s Church, Hastings at 2pm on Sunday 13th of September, children free.
