The Beethoven Society was founded in 1888 and has met without a break since then. The Society gives classical music concerts in aid of both local and national charities. Concerts in aid of UNICEF, the Rainbow Family Trust, the Motor Neurone Disease Association and Holy Innocents Church Roof Appeal have all been given in the recent past.
We do not purely perform works by Beethoven; rather the name is kept as a tribute to the long and illustrious history of the orchestra. We are a group of musicians dedicated to playing good music, enjoying ourselves, and helping to raise money for charities at the same time. Admission to our concerts is usually free but collections are made for the charity sponsored by each concert.
Please come and support us – click here to see a map of our usual rehearsal and concert venues. If you’ve never been to our concerts before, come and try something different for free. If you have, we hope you enjoyed our concerts and will keep supporting us.
We currently have vacancies for string players, and are inviting expressions of interest for a 2nd clarinet. If you are interested please contact us either by telephoning our Membership Secretaries, Joan and Rosalind Corser, on 01706378973 or via our ‘Contact Us’ web page.
