Are you looking to join a community of music lovers?

Musica has five centres across Kirklees and runs a range of ensembles that welcome adults to come and make music.  We pride ourselves on inclusivity and welcome singers and players of all instruments, abilities and musical backgrounds.  Most of our groups are open to all ages from children to adults, but we also have some ensembles that are just for adults (over 18s).  These groups have the same warm and friendly atmosphere as all our family groups but with the focus specifically on adult learning. 

Below you can find a list of groups that are either specifically for adult learners, or that we've selected as particularly of interest to adults; please remember that adults are welcome at nearly all our other music centre groups as well so if you're looking for something else please check out our full list of ensembles available here.

Membership is invoiced termly (£55 per pupil per term 2025 - 26) and free for Kirklees Priority Passport holders.

Once you're a member, you can attend as many suitable groups across all our centres as you like, from choirs to folk groups, orchestras, big bands and more!
