For over six decades our society has been actively involved in the cultural life of Morpeth, promoting an annual series of classical concerts performed by professional artists of national and international standing.

We also encourage the town’s young musicians in many ways. Artists are invited to hold master-classes for local schools. The Eileen Bowler Scholarship is awarded to fund an outstanding student’s additional music lessons. Members’ donations are used to supply some free concert tickets to schools. Finally, new this year, we are including free entrance to a child with each adult membership.

This year, we will be applying to Gift Aid our membership. By signing the Gift Aid declaration and ticking the appropriate box, we will be able to claim back tax for this and the previous six seasons. You must pay an amount of income tax and/or capital gains tax in each tax year at least equal to the tax that we (Morpeth Music Society) will claim from HM Revenue & Customs on your Gift Aid donations/membership. Having given your approval, please inform our treasurer if you wish to cancel the declaration, you change your name or address, or you no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains.
