History
The Women for Music Society dates back to 1952 when a group of women met in the home of Mrs. Angus L. Macdonald to establish an auxiliary for the Halifax Symphony Orchestra. The organization was originally called the Women's Auxiliary of the Atlantic Symphony Inc. However, in 1983 the name changed to the present Women for Music Society, with a mandate to support and promote live performances of music and to assist with the ongoing work of Symphony Nova Scotia.
