The Premier Music Society for the county's capital city!

York RMS was founded in 1955 and is one of over 200 British societies that are affiliated to the Federation of Recorded Music Societies.

We meet fortnightly on Thursdays and listen to a wide range of (mainly but not exclusively) classical music on CDs. Our programmes are given by members and by visiting speakers.

Annual subscriptions cover seventeen meetings in the year, which runs from September to May, and visitors are welcome to attend any of them.
