Welcome to the Nicholas Yonge Society website.
The Nicholas Yonge Society is one of the finest mainstream classical music societies in the South-East of England. The exceptional quality of its concerts and their excellent value for money, attracts members from far and wide. Over a quarter of the members come from places outside Lewes, such as Horsham, Worthing, Eastbourne and Hailsham. The Society favours trios, quartets and small ensembles, with an occasional piano soloist or singer, many of them artists of international fame. It also provides a platform for young professional musicians and it is gratifying that so many of these have gone on to successful national and international careers. For a selection of former artists, click on ‘Past Artists’.
