Belfast Music Society

Belfast Music Society The Belfast Music Society is a long-established organisation, founded in 1921 to promote the performance and enjoyment of classical chamber music.

Its programme of concerts has been one of the mainstays of Belfast’s musical and cultural life, providing access to an extensive repertoire of quality chamber music. BMS has always been an active champion of local young musicians, offering recital opportunities to soloists and ensembles from NI at the very beginning of their professional careers. Whenever possible, BMS has also included workshops

for promising student instrumentalists and singers with the international soloists who come to perform during the Festival.
