VisionWe envision an international community that values the exploration of the music, heritage, and culture of the early 20th century, particularly as it relates to Percy Grainger’s work, and is empowered to preserve it and interpret it for future generations. MissionOur mission is to promote the work and legacy of Percy Grainger with a membership community that preserves his historic house, encourages appreciation and performance of his music, and promotes a deeper understanding of the cultural, social, and economic context of his life and work. | Thank You!Each year, the Percy Grainger Society joins in the global Giving Tuesday movement, which is designed to keep the spirit of giving alive during the holiday season.
