About us... |
The Three Rivers Music Society (popularly known as TRMS), a registered charity, established in 1975, has its principal aim to promote music in all its aspects by organising concerts and recitals not only by established, talented performers but also aspiring youngsters. TRMS organises an annual programme of around six evening and four lunchtime chamber concerts at local venues.
TRMS's AGM took place on Monday, September 2nd, 2024 at 5.00pm at a venue in Watford. We were privileged for this AGM to be attended by the President of TRMS - Councillor Raj Khiroya, the Chair of the Three Rivers District Council (who by constitution, automatically becomes the ex-officio TRMS President).
The AGM defined and agreed the basic framework of a way forward into 2025. and it approved the following Executive Committee structure with the following officers-
- Chairman: Ash Patil
- Treasurer: Philippa Jacob
- Ronnie Jacob
- Alistair Howse
David Budge, John Donegan, Sue Howse and Denise Wellham (with redefined curtailed responsibilities) were re-elected.

Music Repertoire |
The main focus of TRMS is undoubtedly centred around the Western Classical Music.
It is, however, also actively involved in extending the current scope, without diluting its thrust of its primary focus to also include
- Jazz
- Indian classical
- Popular music - all time greats
- Folk music
- Vocalists
The Society encourages and provides opportunities for aspiring young student musicians to perform through afternoon concerts so as to help them build their confidence to perform in front of large audiences. These are generally held on weekday afternoons. The Society's main concerts feature professional musicians and groups/string quartets of national and international repute.
