ANDOVER MUSIC CLUB



A Brief History



The club was founded over 60 years ago by Miss Gladys New, who was a well-known singer in Andover. Not just the founder of the club, Gladys was also the Secretary for 46 years and the Treasurer for many years. ‘Her’ Music Club has steadily developed, to become one of the best-supported in Southern England. Over 230 season tickets were sold last year.


We present six concerts every season. The aim is to offer a wide range of music performed by professional artists.


The season’s subscription is the equivalent to £7.50 per concert at the undiscounted subscription price.


Such well-known professional musicians and ensembles as The London Mozart Players and The Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields have asked to play for us. This is testimony to the high standard that our enthusiastic audience expect.
