* Witney Music Society

‘In the summer of 1965 a small group of people in Witney called a meeting at which there was overwhelming support for establishing a Society in Witney dedicated to putting on regular concerts by professional classical musicians ... A pattern was soon established of holding six concerts a year on the second Friday of each winter month from October to March. This has continued uninterruptedly ever since and over the years we have welcomed many young musicians who have later become famous ... ‘. The Society receives welcome financial support from a number of sources and ‘has also received grants from the Witney Educational Foundation, which allows us to arrange concerts for schools within the Witney area’.
