The Delius Society promotes a wider appreciation of the music of Frederick Delius and his contemporaries. Each year The Delius Society presents a variety of public concerts, film programs, lectures, symposia and often cooperates and encourages other performers or ensembles to perform Delius works. 

Alex Hassan is considered one of the leading authorities on Novelty Piano, and is working as a performer, recording artist, and collector to preserve and promote this syncopated music.

Robert Petillo, tenor, specializes in oratorio of  the 17th and 18th centuries, and has established himself as a leading interpreter of Handel, Mozart, Haydn, Telemann, and J.S. Bach. He has soloed frequently along the eastern seaboard for the past 25 years, particularly with Washington's many choral ensembles.
