Harmony at Heart:
The Tonal Composers’ Society

The Tonal Composers’ Society is dedicated to celebrating and sustaining the living tradition of tonal music. At its heart, the Society supports composers working in the tonal language, commissioning and fostering new works both composed in authentic historical styles and inspired by the expressive forms and principles of earlier eras. Through performances, commissions, and educational initiatives, it bridges the past and present — honouring the masters of previous centuries while inspiring a new generation of composers to explore authentic and imaginative approaches to tonal composition.

The Society embraces historically informed performance, including the use of period-appropriate instruments, tunings, and techniques, while also championing performances inspired by historical practice, allowing musicians to connect with classical traditions in both faithful and creative ways. Through masterclasses, workshops, and public events, it cultivates understanding and appreciation of tonality, providing composers, performers, and audiences a unique space to connect, learn, and create.
