MMC Music Marathon

MMC took a big hit financially through the pandemic, when our income from member fees dropped. We need to plug the gap and secure our financial future so that we can continue to provide music-making in Macc: hence our 1st ever music marathon!

Story

For 27 years Macclesfield Music Centre (MMC) has been a vital hub for Macclesfield's musical life. Every Saturday morning 200 people, both children and adults, gather at Fallibroome Academy for music lessons, orchestras, instrumental ensembles and choirs, all tutored by expert musicians. Like all arts charities, however, MMC has taken a big hit financially through the pandemic. Despite on-going Zoom classes and our tutors' boundless creativity, our income from enrolments dropped substantially. Though we bounced back vigorously in September when we were able to meet up again, we need a big fundraising event to plug the gap and secure our financial future. The MMC Music Marathon on Saturday 4th December is that big event.

We are going to fill the United Reformed Church at Park Green, Macclesfield with music for 12 hours, from 9.00 a.m to 9.00 p.m. Pretty much everyone at MMC will be involved at some point through the day - singers, synchronised saxes, big bands, wind bands, orchestras, soloists and chamber groups. Whether you are already part of the MMC family or just want to find out about our activities, we hope you'll drop in and enjoy the music. We also hope you'll also feel inspired to support MMC by making a donation via https://justgiving.com/campaign/mmcmusicmarathon. We have an initial fundraising target of £3000. As well as the musical performances there will be refreshments and cakes to buy and a tombola.

Please support us and help secure MMC's future.
