Welcome to “TBS”!  We run chamber music concerts in Farnham with top professional musicians. 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.

Conservatoire Concerts in Godalming, which used to be part of TBS, is now a separate charity, see conservatoireconcerts.org.uk , as is Farnham Sinfonia see  www.farnhamsinfonia.org.uk

The original Tilford Bach Society, with its current Music Director Adrian Butterfield, runs the Tilford Bach Festival and is  a separate charity.
