We have held five highly successful clavichord weekends at the Russell Collection of Early Keyboard Instruments in Edinburgh; and events linking recitals and talks have taken place in Bristol, Cambridge, Cardiff, Haslemere, Lewes, London, Milton Keynes and Oxford In line with our aim to share the pleasures of the clavichord more widely, we organize educational events to introduce the clavichord to students, young people and other musicians as well as BCS members and the general public We also have a sponsorship scheme which has enabled young professional musicians and students to attend specialist short courses and receive tuition from clavichord specialists such as Paul Simmonds and Terence Charlston The British Clavichord Society was formed in 1994 to support the understanding and enjoyment of the clavichord Since its first meetings the Society has included a clavichord recital in all its events
