Putney Music is a society of music lovers who meet fortnightly from September to April to hear some of the world’s most celebrated musicians talk about their lives and work. Our guest
speakers come from all fields of music – the concert hall, recital platform, opera, ballet, television and film; and also include producers, broadcasters, critics and writers.

Putney Music was founded in 1950 by the critic and writer, Ralph Hill. It began as a record society, but has grown and developed over the years to become a much-admired forum where members and visitors can meet internationally renowned musicians in an informal setting.

Putney Music enjoys a membership of almost 200 members, some of whom have a considerable knowledge of music while others have very little, but we all share a great love of music. Each meeting is an unique and enjoyable occasion. In the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, our meetings are equally enjoyable for our guest speakers.

Putney Music extends a warm welcome to everyone. Our meetings provide a rare opportunity to learn from great artists how they approach their work, and the unique experience of meeting and learning from the private person behind the public image.

Why not join us and become part of one of London’s most important music societies? Meet new people with an interest in the study and appreciation of music.
