Westmorland Music Council
Westmorland Music Council was established in 1945 by an enthusiastic group of people with a love of music, who wished to promote music-making across the then county of Westmorland. In the early days they took over the running of the Mary Wakefield Westmorland Festival, helped to form the Westmorland Orchestra and the Westmorland Youth Orchestra, and were associated with the Midday Concert Club in Kendal. They also started to award tuition grants to a few students. Westmorland Music Council is indebted to the Frieda Scott Trust for their continuing help towards these awards.

We also produce the Concert Diary, which gives details of as many concerts as possible in the area, providing useful information to members and helping to avoid clashes of events. This has been an important part of our function from the start.

In the early 1980s a public appeal raised sufficient funds to purchase a Steinway piano, housed in the Westmorland Hall. More recently we have been able to obtain a Lottery grant from Youth Music to set up MusicLinks, taking music to the further reaches of our area.

Potential members and grant applicants can contact the Westmorland Music Council through Musiclinks.
