Welcome from the Chairman

Welcome to the new official website of CASS, the Clarinet and Saxophone Society of Great Britain.

CASS exists to promote the playing of the clarinet and saxophone at all levels from beginners to serious students, keen amateurs and professionals and in all musical styles.

Members of CASS receive a very well-produced, full-colour, quarterly magazine packed full of interesting articles on the two instruments, features on celebrity players, reviews of CDs instruments, reeds and equipment as well as ‘live’ concerts and listings of forthcoming performances. In addition the Society organises various events such as ‘play-days’ in different parts of the country, and acts as custodian of an extensive library of works, any of which can be borrowed for a nominal sum. Members can also advertise, free of charge, any instruments or accessories you may wish to sell.

Click on the ‘JOIN’ link at the top of the page to download an application form or you can use the on-line payment system.

David Campbell - CASS Chairman

Once you are a member you can help to shape what we do. The committee members would love to know your thoughts and ideas about future events, receive your reviews of concerts and CDs and be sent any photos of events you have attended. If you wish to be included on CASS’s ‘reminder list’ please send a message to our Editor, Richard Edwards. You will then receive an e-mail reminder to submit copy for the listings page in the next issue by a certain date.

Above all I believe that a Society is about people, and members of CASS are part of a network of hundreds of players in the UK who all share the same interest in playing single reed instruments.

Chairman, Clarinet & Saxophone Society of Great Britain
