For over six decades our society has been actively involved in the cultural life of Morpeth, presenting an annual series of classical concerts performed by professional artists of national and international standing. Traditionally, these take place in the intimate setting of the panelled ballroom of Morpeth Town Hall but this year we are also using a new venue for three concerts, Morpeth Methodist Church, which allows for bigger audiences.

Throughout the year, the Society also assists the young musicians in the town. The Coull Quartet will be holding a masterclass for local schools and BBC Young Musician, Mark Simpson, will be talking to students about composing. Through members’ donations, we supply some free concert tickets to schools and we have introduced the Eileen Bowler Scholarship to fund an outstanding student’s additional music lessons.

Our concert season starts in October and will offer a wide and inspiring range of music. We warmly invite you to join us to experience the immediacy and power of live performance, giving an extra edge to enjoyment.
