Welcome to Malvern Concert Club

Ever since its first concert on 31 October 1903, Malvern Concert Club, founded by Sir Edward Elgar, has been a cornerstone of musical life in Worcestershire. Over one hundred years later, today’s Concert Club is proud to continue that tradition of bringing the best chamber music to this part of the country. Whilst grounded in the tradition of the string quartet, each season brings a varied selection of music for small ensemble, with and without keyboard, and voice. Our performers are British and overseas musicians of international standing, with a balance of established artists and promising newcomers.

117th Season 2019-20

Malvern Concert Club's 117th season brings another regular series of six Thursday evening concerts in The Forum, Malvern Theatres. We also present a Sunday afternoon recital in Great Mavlern Priory and a "Coffee and Cake" concert at Elmslie House

We also continue our regular coach trips from Malvern to afternoon concerts in Symphony Hall, Birmingham
