The Lake Macquarie Music Society (LMMS)
We are proudly home to The Lake Macquarie Philharmonic Orchestra, Lake Macquarie Eisteddfod, an annual Festival of the Choirs and a regular concert program.
Established in 1980 when then Lake Macquarie mayor Geoff Pasterfield called a public meeting , it has been administered since then by President Mercia Buck. Our major sponsor is Lake Macquarie City Council, and our events are held at Warners Bay Theatre, Rathmines Theatre, MAP mima in Speers Point Park, Adamstown Uniting Church, Charlestown Uniting Church & other performance spaces in the lower Hunter Region.
LMMS is a registered not-for-profit organisation offering tax deductibility to donors, and is aiming to gain charity status at the end of 2022.
