Can you help?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As part of our 75th Anniversary celebrations, we are trying to create a performance history of the Society since its founding in 1944. If you are a long time supporter of the Buxton Musical Society, please spend some time looking through the information below and see if you can fill in any gaps. There is a particular shortage of information between 1951 and 1962. If you spot anything you can help with, please get in touch with us via our contact page<\/a>, or speak to any member of the society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
