WELCOME TO THE THAMES MUSIC GROUP (TMG) WEBSITE
TMG was founded in 1977 and is a not-for profit incorporated society, run by volunteers. Two of its original goals, that remain priorities to this day, were to encourage music performances and foster music appreciation. From its inception musicians from near and far have been invited to perform a variety of music for Thames audiences. In 1983 TMG purchased its Yamaha C3D 6ft Grand Piano. An agreement was made with St. George’s Anglican Church to house the piano and the church still generously permits TMG to use their beautiful wooden Gothic church as its concert venue. Both the St. George’s venue and TMG’s piano are fundamental to TMG’s brand and TMG’s very existence.
Few communities the size of Thames have one concert series. TMG provides Thames with two March-October monthly concert series: the free Friday concert series (which began in September 1984) and the Sunday concert series. Over the years the Friday concert series has become the showcase of local and amateur talent of all ages and admittance remains free, though Koha are gratefully accepted. The Sunday afternoon concert series features professional and other quality musicians and ensembles for a modest $20 entrance fee (members pay $15 and no charge to individuals under 18 years old).
