The Tickhill Music Society developed from a concert in Tickhill, Doncaster, held on 17 March 1977 by the Coull Quartet.
Our aim is to present live music performed by professional musicians in a welcoming environment for the benefit of the people of Tickhill and the surrounding areas. The music is not confined to the classical repertoire. We also explore other fields like jazz, folk, and world music and like to encourage young musicians.
We hold six evening concerts a season, all of which are given by professional musicians.
The newly formed committee has decided not to hold evening concerts during the months of December, January, and February and has adjusted the concert calendar accordingly. To keep music flowing during those colder months we have some lunchtime concerts planned.
The concerts are usually held at St Mary’s Primary School in Tickhill, and occasionally (for larger scale works or to make use of the organ) at our local parish church, St Mary’s, Tickhill.
The society owns a Yamaha boudoir grand piano which is kept at the school and is much appreciated by the visiting professionals who enjoy playing it.
Trips away from Tickhill to view musical events on the big screen are planned as well as the occasional Sheffield City Hall concert.
Tickhill Music Society is a registered charity. Charity number: 509981
