Welcome to Shropshire Music Trust

Shropshire Music Trust acknowledges the huge part played by volunteers in putting on its concerts.  We are always in need of people to help with the selling of programmes and the serving of refreshments, and increasingly there is a need for additional stewards.  If you feel you would like to get involved at any of our concerts this season, please contact Chris Stephens (dvorakfan@hotmail.com) or Simon Cousins (spc100159@gmail.com). Thank you.
