Friends of Music Society
FOM Music Society, known colloquially as ‘Friends of Music’, is a Registered Charitable organization that offers musical opportunities in support of mental health.
We offer a range of group music lessons, performing ensembles, drop-in music programs, community concerts and special events, with day and evening programming available. We provide a safe, inclusive, accessible, and fun environment where new learners and skilled musicians can rehearse and perform in partnership with other musicians from the community. Our aim is to support each person’s recovery goals through fostering connections and community, building self-confidence, skills development, and creative employment opportunities.
We make friends while we make music and we have fun doing it.
Our programs are accessed through self-referral.
We operate out of the Eric Martin Pavilion Theatre (part of the Jubilee Hospital), thanks to the generous support of Island Health.
