02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The Society maintains two orchestras for promoting the practice and performance of primarily Scottish Music in order that community interest in such music shall be encouraged and advanced by way of private and public concerts that are given by the Society the playing of traditional music shall thereby be preserved and encouraged. We also seek to maintain a youth group to give youngsters the opportunity to perform and develop their skills on a sociable and encouraging setting. The surplus that the society may generate during the year is largely distributed to other charities with a similar purpose as voted for by our members at our AGM.
