Cockermouth Music Society’s 25th Season promises to be as interesting and exciting as any in the past with very accomplished musicians performing as soloists or as members of ensembles. Once again, with the support of Orchestras Live we are able to offer an orchestral concert, the Northern Chamber Orchestra in Christ Church on 26 February 2019.
There are two kinds of membership. A subscription ticket (£90) brings membership plus access to all seven professional concerts, members’ and young persons’ concerts. Ordinary membership costs £12 (£5 for 18 and under) and this brings reduced prices for tickets. Tickets can be bought by non-members for all events either on the door or at Billy Bowman Music
Subscription members will be able to bring a non-member to one concert in the season absolutely free of charge. Please show your subscription card on entry.
Cockermouth Music Society is a successful society and we want to make it even more successful for the benefit of artists and audiences alike. If you are interested in hearing live classical music in Cockermouth, please join the Society or be a member of the audience as often as you can.

This concert is sponsored by the Countess of Munster Trust who have chosen Emmanuel Bach for their list of current artists.
He has performed concertos by Brahms, Paganini and Tchaikovsky. A dedicated chamber musician, he currently leads the Bach String Quartet. He gave the first public performance in the UK of Lennox Berkeley’s Violin Sonata No.1. Later this year, he will record a CD of miniatures and encore pieces.
“An outstanding violinist with a great future ahead of him.”
Luka Okros is a top prize winner at 10 international piano competitions, and has performed in 30 countries. He debuted at the Carnegie Hall and the Wigmore Hall.
