The Ipswich Gilbert & Sullivan Society

We are the award-winning Ipswich Gilbert & Sullivan Society! Immerse yourself in the timeless magic of Gilbert and Sullivan (and beyond, embracing many musical genres!) as we celebrate over 90 years of enchanting performances and musical camaraderie. 

Discover the warmth and talent that defines our Society - audiences often highlight our joyous performances, and newcomers feel welcomed, inspired and nurtured. With a mix of experienced and budding performers, our inclusive community welcomes adults of all levels of experience. 

With rehearsals weekly throughout the year, we have a calendar of annual events starting with our 'Spring Showcase: Opera, Stage & Screen' - a concert season that showcases our versatility in musical genres. Each summer we sing to audiences at Ipswich Music Day and give people a taste of what we do. We are also proud to work with a variety of charities and last year’s concerts helped raise £8,250! Every autumn we perform a fully staged Gilbert and Sullivan operetta – this year being ‘Iolanthe’ – at the Seckford Theatre in Woodbridge, before we finish off the year with a Christmas concert or two! 

Why not join us at our Yeoman of the Guard Come-and-Sing Workshop in May to experience what a rehearsal with us is like?! 

So, don’t hesitate to join us and experience the joy, diversity, talent and fun that define the Ipswich Gilbert & Sullivan Society - where we make memories as well as music!

"The love and support between the entire cast is abundantly clear - an absolute joy to watch"
