The Sir Arthur Sullivan Society, founded in England in 1977, is a charity that works to promote knowledge and performance of the music of Arthur Sullivan. Toward this end, it issues newsletters, libretti, and other publications, and organizes festivals, lectures, and concert events.
Arthur Sullivan (1842-1900) was an English composer and conductor, best known for his collaborations with librettist W. S. (William Schwenck) Gilbert (1836-1911). He also composed operas with a number of other librettists, as well as concertos, oratorios, incidental music, and music in other genres.
