Belfast Music Society

Belfast Music Society was formed in 1921, beginning life as a branch of the British Music Society.  Although not originally a concert-promoting body, more an organising, co-ordinating, and educative body, it now serves to promote the knowledge and appreciation of chamber music, through the organisation and presentation of recitals.

There have been many changes in BMS over the years, however two things sustain the BMS philosophy and will go on sustaining it.

One is the repertoire to which it provides access, enormous in its variety, vitality and quality. The other is that, however well provided we are with recordings and broadcasts, to go, just a few times in the year to see and hear the best performers playing the repertoire adds a unique and valuable dimension to our enjoyment.
