OBJECTS OF THE SOCIETY
The British Music Society exists to promote the organisation and development of music in the British Isles
and the British Empire, to build up a body of musical opinion capable of making itself felt whenever and
wherever the interests of music and music-lovers are at stake, and to spread the knowledge of British music
of all periods at home and abroad.
It encourages its members, wherever they may be situated, to work towards this end by cultivating every
kind of musical activity, and not least by making music among themselves, believing that
and knowledge of music are chiefly stimulated and strengthened.
the love.
The Society is not intended to supplant or compete with any existing organisation; it desires rather to
co-ordinate scattered musical activities for the prevention of waste and overlapping. It enrols not only
practising musicians, professional and amateur, but all who are conscious of the importance of music as an
element in national culture. I
