The Society was founded in early 2003 with the aim of furthering the appreciation, understanding and knowledge of the music of Arthur Bliss. The Committee has benefited from the support and encouragement of both Lady Bliss and George Dannatt, our President and Vice-President.  

A substantial Newsletter is published twice a year, in the Spring and Autumn. A separate cumulative index to the first six issues is available. Non-members wishing to buy copies of the Newsletter please contact the Chairman. 

The website of The Bliss Trust contains biography, bibliography and discography, and we complement this on the Society's site with active information about forthcoming performances and recordings of the music, study events, current news and comment, details of membership, how to join and how to contact us. 

The Enquiries page gives the opportunity to site visitors, whether members of the Society or not, to contribute questions or comments.  

We devote a page to the Charlton Kings Choral Society because of its close links with Lady Bliss, initially through our Chairman. Five of our seven Committee members belong to the choir, and a sixth, John Wright, is its Conductor.

The Links page joins us to other interesting and relevant websites : please suggest any useful additions. Please also let us know of forthcoming performances of Bliss music so that we can publicise them here. Click here to contact the webmaster.
