Delius Society events

The London Branch meets six or seven times between September and March, usually at the New Cavendish Club, 44 Great Cumberland Place, London W1H 7BS (www.newcavendishclub.co.uk). The Club is situated a short distance from Marble Arch, where the nearest Underground station is located. Other venues (for example, the Royal Norwegian Embassy and Steinway Hall) are used from time to time.

The meetings take the form of talks, interviews, recitals and film shows. Delius is the usual theme, whether the subject be his music or his life and times, but one event per year is usually devoted to another composer or musician, generally one of his contemporaries. Joint meetings/events with Reciprocal Member Societies are becoming increasingly popular.

These weekday evening meetings usually begin at 7.15pm and last until 9.30pm, with a break for coffee and biscuits. Members are welcome to join the speaker for supper afterwards.

The Midland Branch organises its own programme of meetings which are usually held in the Derby area at weekends.
