Audiences
The Music Society targets a wide audience for its concerts in the Brunei community, both local expatriates who enjoy music. The bulk of the audience is aged 20-45 and the largest group by background are Western expatriates. They also make up the bulk of the Society’s membership (which currently stands at around 80).
Many more people attend concerts than are members. Usual concert attendances are between 100 - 150 people per concert depending on the performance type and the door price.
In recent years the Society has done some work to widen the audience base through, for example, partnerships with local music schools. By inviting younger local performers to perform alongside our guest performers we are reaching out and attracting a wider audience.
Membership
Membership is currently $15 and gives members advanced notice of concerts and priority seating. A CD lending library is also available to members. Membership secretary is Samantha Burns.
