This Society was founded over thirty years ago and from small beginnings has grown to become a major force in the current revival of interest in the composer and his music. With regular residential events, magazines and books and an extensive library of performing material, we aim to cover all aspects of the composer's work.

Probably the most important area of our work is the promotion of high quality complete recordings of Sullivan's major works. In recent years these have included
The Golden Legend, The Prodigal Son and The Contrabandista on the Hyperion label and, in 2010, Sullivan's romantic opera Ivanhoe on Chandos, conducted by David Lloyd-Jones – the Society's most ambitious project to date. The recording was nominated in the Best Opera Recording category of the 53rd annual GRAMMY awards.

Our current project is to record Sullivan's 1898 opera The Beauty Stone, again to be released by Chandos. Read about the project here.

You will find details of all this – and a good deal more – within these pages. We hope that you will enjoy browsing them and that perhaps you may feel that you want to join the Society in order to support our continuing work on behalf of one of Britain's most popular composers.
