As a Member you will become an ambassador for the Society by referring colleagues in need, and helping us to grow membership amongst your network, joining some of the greatest names in music, including William Boyce, Edward Purcell and George Frideric Handel. In doing so, you will be helping people like Becky, read her story here.
