Music clubs and societies usually engage visiting professional musicians to perform for them, but we are different: we draw on our own membership for our concerts.

Because we want to encourage all ages and levels of ability, one of our concerts may include a quartet or quintet performed by professional or near-professional players, ensemble items by enthusiastic amateurs and perhaps someone trying out a piece for a forthcoming exam or college audition. Some use the contact opportunity of the society to get together with other members to enjoy playing music in small ensembles.

But performing at our concerts is not compulsory! The majority of our members attend our concerts simply to listen to a wide range of chamber music.

Our membership fee is £15 per year, with a whole-family rate of £25. This includes entrance to all the concerts, a programme plus interval refreshments.

Visitors are very welcome at our concerts, for which the entry fee is £5 for adults or £1 for students and under 18s (unless stated otherwise against a concert date above). The entrance fee includes interval refreshments.
