The Ramsey Music Society, formerly the Ramsey Grammar School Music Club, has
been flourishing since September, 1974 when Mr Jack Pick, Head of Music at the
Ramsey Grammar School, created it. Mr Pick’s intention was to fill a gap in the
cultural life of Ramsey and to make professional standard classical music available
to the School’s students. Amongst its supporters at the School, was Mr John Christal,
a former Principal of the School.
Over the years, many fine artists have performed for the Society including the late
Colin Horsley, a local resident and its President, Julian Lloyd-Webber, Alicja
Fiderkiewicz, Claire Jones, a recent Prince of Wales’ Harpist, Matthew Jones and
Annabel Thwaite, Gary Ryan and the Kandinsky and Kegelstatt Trios.
All students enjoy free entry. Admission at the door on the night has been held for
many years at £10. Members pay £50 to enjoy the six standard concerts. Friends pay
£6 and pay £8 for each standard concert they attend.
The Society much appreciates the support it receives from the Isle of Man Arts Council.
