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. 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.

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. If you are interested please contact us by telephoning our Membership Secretaries, Joan and Rosalind Corser, on 01706378973 or click Here

125th ANNIVERSARY CONCERT

Saturday 29th June 2013 at 7.30 pm

Royal Northern College of Music
124 Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9RD

Programme

Beethoven - Fidelio Overture
Dvorak - ’Cello Concerto
Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 4

Tickets for this concert are now available, price £10 (no concessions) from the RNCM Booking Office or from any orchestra member.

Our very special occasion for this Year is our one hundred and twenty fifth Anniversary Concert. For this concert we have three pieces of undisputed stature. Beethoven, after whom the orchestra is named, is represented by his Fidelio Overture. This is followed by Dvorak’s Cello Concerto, a grand piece despite the difficulty one might imagine the cello has in competing with a full orchestra, and the powerful Fourth Symphony by Tchaikovsky.
