The Society was formed in 1982 under the name “Borders Music And Arts Guild”.  Its objectives were to promote music and the arts through holding concerts and staging exhibitions and lectures.  It sought to provide a platform for young musicians starting out in their careers and many of them, such as Steven Isserlis, have since achieved acclaim. Though the Society's name has since changed, our objectives remain very similar, these days focussing mainly on music, but continuing our support of young artists alongside established performers.

Everyone is welcome at our concerts which aim to provide an enjoyable evening of good music and good company, in the stunning setting of Mellerstain House, with its Robert Adam-designed Music Room. After every concert a reception is held in the beautiful Oval Room which gives the audience an opportunity to meet the artists over a glass of wine.  

We encourage concertgoers to support the society by becoming members and enjoying a discount on their tickets, but tickets are also available for non-members. We offer reduced prices for young people under 25 years old and free tickets for accompanied children under the age of 18.

Included in the ticket price is a glass of Fizz on arrival at 7pm, with all concerts starting at 7.30pm.

Due to the intimate nature of the historic Music Room at Mellerstain House, tickets are limited to just 60 per concert and are transferable (subject to availability, please contact us first) but not refundable.

We look forward to the new season of music and would like to acknowledge, with thanks, the generous support given by the Tillett Trust and the Countess of Munster Musical Trust to enable selected young artists to perform at Mellerstain.
