Performances by the Society's members have been numerous and varied: every year, performances at the Festival of Lights; throughout the year regular recitals at resthomes, hospital, fairs, markets, garden parties, special events, such as Walk for Life fundraiser. Some members joined together as a quartet, now called 'Six by Four', and two formed a duet called 'Guitarra'. Both have gone on to secure regular perfomance slots throughout Taranaki.
The Society has hosted many world-class concert artists who have given memorable performances well attended by members and general public alike. Some of the concerts were followed by valuable workshops.
