In the summer of 1965 a small group of people in Witney called a meeting at which there was overwhelming support for establishing a society in Witney dedicated to putting on regular concerts by professional classical musicians. The first Witney Music Society concert was on 19 November 1965 and a pattern was soon established of holding six concerts a year on the second Friday of each winter month from October to March. This has continued uninterruptedly ever since and over the years we have welcomed many young musicians who have later become famous (here are some of them).
Artists and programmes from previous concert series
To celebrate its 50th anniversary in November 2015, Witney Music Society commissioned the design of a new style of brochure that included photos of the artists together with details of their biographies and concert programmes.
This archive has links to the artist pages of the brochures from October 2015 onwards together with single-page summaries of concert seasons from October 2008 to March 2015.
