Recorded Music Society

Sport and Recreation

"The Federation has been honoured in having some distinguished figures from the world of music as President - Sir Adrian Boult, Dr Vernon Handley, Edward Greenfield and Lyndon Jenkins have all served us in that capacity. Our current President is Julian Lloyd Webber, Principal of the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.
In virtually every corner of Britain, Recorded Music Societies, through their regular programming, support for live music, special events or participation in Federation activities, are an integral but often unsung part of our musical fabric. Countless individuals have had their appreciation of music and the recorded repertoire developed by regular attendance at local meetings. Furthermore, they have gained great enjoyment from the experience, and have made friendships that, in many instances, have lasted a lifetime simply from listening in stimulating and convivial company. Whilst no one denies the enjoyment of home listening, the excitement of live music, or the value of evening classes, there is a valuable half-way house - the Recorded Music Society."
