Society & Membership Information

What does The Gilbert & Sullivan Society do?

The purpose of the Society is to promote the works of Gilbert & Sullivan by organising relevant events.
The Society is not a choir and we don’t ask our members to sing – unless they want to!

Society activities include proposals to:

• Arrange professional concerts of Gilbert & Sullivan music in the area
• Organise trips to professional performances of Gilbert & Sullivan operas
• Give amateur productions of Gilbert & Sullivan operas by association members
• Run Gilbert & Sullivan singing workshops for the association
• Set up a website with information on both the Society and Gilbert & Sullivan
• Provide regular participative events for members eg. singalongs, music talks,
  quizzes, video film screenings, etc.

What's in it for me?

• The Society offers music lovers an excellent opportunity to socialise in English and enjoy quality classical music.
• Those of you who enjoy singing as a hobby would have the chance to have lots of fun learning memorable and humorous music with other fans of Gilbert & Sullivan at the singalongs and other musican events.
• Fans of amateur dramatics would have the chance to participate creatively in stage productions of the Gilbert & Sullivan operas.
• Membership of the Society entitles you to a substantial reduction on the cost of entry to The Gilbert & Sullivan Society events as well as reductions for some other Gilbert & Sullivan productions.
• In addition, of course, you will receive the Society’s regular newsletter and invitations to all the musical and social functions which we arrange throughout the year.
