Society for Private Musical Performance

The Society for Private Musical Performance was an organization dedicated to promoting the appreciation of privately performed music, often focusing on chamber and intimate recitals. It aimed to elevate the standards of these performances, encourage the dissemination of lesser-known works, and foster a community of musicians and enthusiasts committed to high-quality, private musical experiences. By emphasizing intimacy and personal connection, the society supported a tradition of music-making outside large public venues, highlighting the artistry involved in small-scale, personal concerts.
