Members pay a subscription fee, which entitles them to attend all concerts free of charge. Membership and tickets to individual concerts are available via our Contact and Booking page or from Mrs. Christine Ferguson on 01600 772747.

 

Our Venue, The Blake Theatre, in Monmouth, is made available to us by the generosity of the Headmaster of Monmouth School. and has full wheelchair access.  Members of Monmouth's St John's Ambulance Brigade are present for all concerts. We also have close links with Wyastone Concert Hall.

 

The Merlin owns a Steinway Model "D" Grand Piano which was purchased in 1973 and underwent a full reconditioning in 2005.  Please click here for further information on the Steinway.
