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.

2024-25 Season Announced
A varied and impressive line-up of artists is announced for our 2024-25 season. Now in our 41st year, we have been proud to offer programmes featuring aspects of classical, contemporary and world music over the last four decades. John Moore, Musical Director, says "It is really amazing that we have managed to attract world-class performers to the county who will give concerts featuring music ranging from Mozart to Joni Mitchell. Shropshire is blessed with an array of rich musical events and we are thrilled to be able to enrich this offering – we hope audiences will enjoy our programme as much as we do.”
One of the highlights of the season will be an appearance on March 23 next year of official royal harpist Alis Huws at the Festival Drayton Centre in Market Drayton.
