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: the latest has just been sent out. 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 local performances of Bliss music
so that we can publicise them here. Click here to contact the
webmaster.
