The
Society |
|
The
Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Edinburgh was founded in 1924 to
foster the love and appreciation of the works of W.S. Gilbert and
Sir Arthur Sullivan.
The Society meets monthly between
October and May for recitals, talks and other events. Performing
members meet weekly during the winter to rehearse the annual
production. During the year, performing members also provide
concerts for many organisations and groups throughout Edinburgh, the
Lothians and beyond. For the past few years, the Society has been
invited by Seafarers UK Scotland to sing at its annual
concert in the Usher Hall with the Band of H.M. Royal Marines
Scotland.
The Society has been raising funds
for charity since 1946 and in the past few years has helped the Sick
Kids Appeal, Music and the Deaf, Sir Malcolm Sargent Cancer Fund for
Children, the Council for Music in Hospitals and Marie Curie Cancer
Care. |

About
This Web Site
|
|
Welcome to our new-look web site.
I hope you find it easier to navigate round
now.
Getting about this web site is fairly
simple. All the sections can be accessed from any page by clicking on
one of the section tabs provided along the top of the page.
Once you have selected the section you
want to explore, you can use the button bar at the
top of the left hand
side to select the different parts of the section. Some sections only
have one page and so they will not have any buttons.
The button for the selected part will be highlighted
in a different colour as is the tab for the current
section
If you have any suggestions or comments
about the web site, please email them to:
The web-site is
now mostly in place but the archive section still
has a lot to be added. As you will realise, this is
going to take a long time, so please be patient. We endeavour to get it all
going as soon as possible. Thanks!
