Welcome to “TBS”! We run concerts in Farnham with top professional musicians. We also run a series of Conservatoire Concerts in Godalming, which aims to provide performance opportunities for students and young professionals. See conservatoireconcerts.org.uk Farnham Sinfonia is now a separate charity but used to be part of TBS. See www.farnhamsinfonia.org.uk
All our concerts are open to the public and you can register to attend from this website. We are a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). Entrance to our concerts is FREE and our concerts are funded primarily through retiring collections and donations. We especially welcome young people and their attendance is supported by CAVATINA.
The original Tilford Bach Society, with its current Music Director Adrian Butterfield, runs the Tilford Bach Festival and is a separate charity.
