Rodewald Concert Society

The Rodewald Concert Society is an English unincorporated members' society which promotes musical education and chamber music in Merseyside, now part of Liverpool City Region. It was founded in 1911 as the Rodewald Concert Club, in memory of Alfred Edward Rodewald, a well known amateur conductor in Liverpool with a national reputation. Its founding chairman was composer Ernest Bryson, and its first honorary president was Sir Charles Villiers Stanford. Its first concert was given by the Rawdon-Briggs String Quartet at the former Carlton Restaurant, Eberle Street, Liverpool, on 16 October 1911. It changed its name to the Rodewald Concert Society in 1916; it is today a registered charity.
