WITNEY MUSIC SOCIETY

Welcome to Witney Music Society

WMS is a long-established charity which organises a winter programme of live classical music concerts every year from October to March. Attracting audiences of up to 120 people, the venues of Wood Green School and Witney Methodist Church offer easily accessible music evenings in a friendly and welcoming environment. The Society usually has young, lively performers who are award winners and established in their careers. Their enthusiasm is infectious, and they often take time to explain what they perform and in some cases the instruments they play. The relatively small venues mean the audience is close to the performers, so the experience is very vivid and the sound first class.

The audience is friendly and light refreshments are served in the interval, so there is an opportunity to meet new friends.

The Society is keen for its concerts to be accessible as possible to all. Wheelchair access and disabled toilet facilities are available at both venues.
Both venues also have excellent free car parking: Wood Green in the adjacent school car park, and for the Methodist Church the rear of Waitrose car park has plenty of spaces in the evening for those with walking difficulties. Drop off and pickup at the doors of both venues is possible.

Concerts start at 7.30pm, and finish at about 9.30 to 10 pm.

Buying a season ticket for the full six concerts gives a substantial saving over buying separate tickets for each.

Witney Music Society is appreciative of the financial support and encouragement which it receives from West Oxfordshire District Council, Witney Town Council, from the advertisers in our brochure and for individual concerts, from Making Music, The Countess of Munster Musical Trust and The Haverhill Sinfonia Soloist Competition. This, together with a flourishing membership, enables us to offer performances of a very high standard.

The Society has over the years also received grants from the Witney Educational Foundation, which allow us to arrange concerts for schools within the Witney area.
