The Nassau Music Society is run by a volunteer Committee who meet about once a
month during the Season – November to May.
The aim of the Society is to promote and encourage the art of music by organizing
concerts and other musical activities and to provide financial and other assistance to
students of music.
The Nassau Music Society has offered their Members and the Bahamian Community the
opportunity to listen to good quality classical and jazz music since the 1960’s. The
Society was officially incorporated in 1961 and the first President was Clement Bethel.
Since then the fortunes of the Society have fluctuated over the years but it has always
managed to persevere with successive Committees providing the impetus to organize
concerts. It has been involved in a variety of different events and, for example, in recent
years opera singers Grace Bumby and Isobel Buchanan, the London Philharmonic, the
English Chamber Orchestra, Interpreti Venezia, The Boy’s Choir of Harlem, Simon
Estes, Yuri Bashmet and the Moscow Soloists, Natalia Gutman, Dmitri Berlinsky and
the Albek Twins have all performed for us in the Bahamas... click here to read more

President's Report 2008-2009
The Nassau Music Society has had a great Season. The music was enjoyed by all and the
artists excelled themselves. And to make it even better for the Society, the audience
numbers were well above average and those attending the concerts seemed to very much
appreciate the performances if the ovations they gave the artists at the end of their
performance are a guideline. We must of course remember that in order for the
programme to work the Society needs help and the key ingredients in this are the
Sponsors and the Committee.. click here for full report
