Sussex Musicians Club

About us

chapelRoyal

We are a community of classical music lovers, both performers and listeners.

The Club was inaugurated in March 1923. Have a look at the History page for some details of how the Club developed in the first years.

Our series of informal musical evenings features artists drawn from our membership, and runs from September to June. The repertoire ranges from early music right up to the present day, combining the familiar with items less often performed.

Except where indicated, from September 2024 all of our concerts are held at Chapel Royal, 164 North St, Brighton BN1 1EA, on Saturdays at 7.00 pm.

Annual membership is £30, and includes free admission for the year.

Admission for non-members is £7. Free admission for under 18s.
