Piano Appeal

Partly as a consequence of the floods in Cockermouth in November 2009 the Society’s piano had deteriorated more quickly than expected and needed  to be replaced. Thanks to the generosity of members, local shops and businesses, as well as a number of charitable trusts mainly based in Cumbria, Cockermouth Town Council and Cumbria County Council plus a successful bid for a grant of £40,000 from Arts Council England’s Grants for the Arts scheme, the Society was able to purchase a new Steinway Model B Grand Piano. The piano was installed for the opening concert of the 2014/2015 season and has been hugely appreciated by both performers and audiences.  It is regularly used by various local groups and will continue to benefit music in Cockermouth.

Our thanks go to all of the people who responded to this appeal with donations.
