The Royal Society of Musicians of Great Britain is a charity in the United Kingdom that supports musicians. It is the oldest music-related charity in Great Britain, founded in 1738 as the Fund for Decay'd Musicians by a declaration of trust signed by 228 musicians, including Edward Purcell (eldest son of Henry Purcell), Thomas Arne, William Boyce, Johann Christoph Pepusch, Hilda Wilson, Dr. John Worgan, and George Frideric Handel. It still operates a bank account at Drummonds Bank (now part of Royal Bank of Scotland) which was opened by its first secretary, Michael Christian Festing, in November 1738.

  • The Royal Society of Musicians of Great Britain is a charity in the United Kingdom that supports musicians. It is the oldest music-related charity in Great Britain, founded in 1738 as the Fund for Decay'd Musicians by a declaration of trust signed by 228 musicians, including Edward Purcell (eldest son of Henry Purcell), Thomas Arne, William Boyce, Johann Christoph Pepusch, Hilda Wilson, Dr. John Worgan, and George Frideric Handel. It still operates a bank account at Drummonds Bank (now part of Royal Bank of Scotland) which was opened by its first secretary, Michael Christian Festing, in November 1738. The fund received patronage from George III, and it was incorporated by royal charter in 1790. Funds were raised by holding charity concerts, musical dinners, and music festival. Liszt gave his first concert in England for the benefit of the society in 1824, aged 12. It also held performances by Mendelssohn, Moscheles, and Dvořák. Meyerbeer, Liszt, and Clara Schumann all became members. A was formed in 1840, but merged with the royal society in 1866. In the days before the welfare state, membership of the royal society guaranteed a degree of financial security to professional musicians. A second royal charter was granted in 1987, confirming its aims to support to all professional musicians (not just members) and their dependents who are in need through illness, disease or old age.

  • La Royal Society of Musicians of Great Britain è una organizzazione di beneficenza nel Regno Unito che da supporto ai musicisti. È la più antica organizzazione di beneficenza legata alla musica in Gran Bretagna, fondata nel 1738 come "Fondo per musicisti in difficoltà" da un contratto fiduciario firmato da 228 musicisti, tra cui Edward Purcell (figlio maggiore di Henry Purcell), Thomas Arne, William Boyce, Johann Christoph Pepusch, Dr. , e Georg Friedrich Händel. Gestisce ancora un conto bancario presso la Drummonds Bank (ora parte della Royal Bank of Scotland) che fu aperto dal suo primo segretario, Michael Christian Festing, nel novembre del 1738. Il Fondo ricevette il patrocinio da Giorgio III e fu incorporato dalla Royal Charter nel 1790. Furono raccolti fondi tenendo concerti di beneficenza, cene con musica e festival musicali. Liszt diede il suo primo concerto in Inghilterra a beneficio della società nel 1824, all'età di 12 anni. Furono anche tenuti spettacoli da parte di Mendelssohn, Moscheles e Dvořák. Meyerbeer, Liszt e Clara Schumann tutti divennero membri. Nel 1840 fu costituita una Society of Female Musicians (Società di musiciste donne), ma nel 1866 si fuse con la Royal Society. In quei giorni precedenti lo stato sociale, l'appartenenza alla Royal Society garantiva un certo grado di sicurezza finanziaria ai musicisti professionisti. Una seconda Royal Charter fu concessa nel 1987, confermando il suo scopo di sostenere tutti i musicisti professionisti (non solo i membri) e i loro familiari a carico che avessero bisogno aiuto per infermità, malattia o vecchiaia.
