Early days of the Society had the active support of Sir Adrian Boult, a Woldingham resident. From 1960 to 1990, Miss Eileen Joyce, who lived in Limpsfield High Street, was the President. Up to time of their deaths in 2002/3, Wulstan Atkins, a godson of Sir Edward Elgar, and his wife, Jane were able to use their many contacts in the musical world to engage top class soloists and ensembles. This tradition continues. In 2007 the eminent pianist Imogen Cooper accepted the Society's invitation to become President. She will be opening the 2009/2010 season with a recital of works by Schubert. Activities. The Society basically runs two types of activity, Club Evenings open to members only and Concerts open to all. Both these activities are reasonably priced and represent a large saving on London and even Croydon ticket prices. Students only pay half-price and nothing for the friendly and welcoming atmosphere! Where we meet. Hazelwood School, Limpsfield is the venue for the main concerts. President: Imogen Cooper CBE |
