Chair, Jane Povey, introduces the 2025-26 season

I am delighted to be sharing plans for Shropshire Music Trust’s new season, having recently taken over as Chair of the Trust. It is a privilege to be following in the giant footsteps of David Waterhouse, our previous Chair, in order to continue to build on the inspirational work of Kate Hogwood, who established the Trust in 1983 together with the inaugural Trustees. Our purpose is to bring the best of classical, contemporary and world music to communities in Shropshire, and to encourage audiences to share in the joy of high-quality live performances.

Friends & Patrons Scheme

The rich diversity of Shropshire Music Trust's work would simply not be possible without the generous help of individuals such as our Friends and Patrons – vital in helping us achieve our charitable mission to share great music with as many people as possible.

Please help us if you can by joining or renewing your support as a Friend or Patron, or by sending us a donation...
