Edinburgh Society Of Musicians

The Edinburgh Society of Musicians is an organisation which promotes practical music-making in Edinburgh. It has been in existence since 1887. Chamber music recitals are given every Saturday evening at 7.30pm from early October until the end of June. Its stated objects include "cultivating the art and practice of music in Edinburgh, and promoting social intercourse amongst musicians and those interested in music." The historical archive and music collection of the society was purchased by the National Library of Scotland in 1982.
