EDMC is currently in its 74th yearFounded in 1950 at an inaugural meeting at Strodes College, it had 120 paid up members by its first AGM.   From the start, non-club members could attend as visitors for an admission fee, and professional artists and lecturers were engaged to bring live music of good quality to Egham. Concerts were given for the first three months at Strodes College and then generous members allowed their homes to be used for recitals and socials.   Scaitcliffe School and Great Fosters Hotel hosted certain events. Fund raising events were held to build a firm financial basis for the club.   Since 1970 the United Church of Egham has become the club’s regular venue.For many years a yearly concert has featured promising young performers, namely the Young Performers Platform, providing a platform for aspiring local musicians and encouraging them and their parents to join as members. As part of our mission to bring quality live music to the local area and to a youth audience, we have special student and under-21s rates for our events. Accompanied children under 16 are admitted free.
