Membership of the Dvořák Society brings:

- Newsletters — these include reports of concerts and other performances, members’ activities, new recordings and a diary of future events.
- Dvořák Society Occasional Publications — these provide in-depth information on selected topics. Members receive free copies of the Society’s new Occasional Publications issued during their period of membership and enjoy discounted prices on earlier ones.
- New Releases lists of new releases of Czech and Slovak CDs and their reviews in the Newsletters.
- Library — The Dvořák Society has a collection of publications, recordings and scores available for loan to Society members at Senate House, University of London. The Society can also make this available to others: namely bona fide students, researchers and other specialists upon application.
- Senate House is centrally located and offers facilities for showcasing some of the collection and a meeting space.
- However, please note that for the moment, due to COVID-19, the collection remains closed both to members and the public until further notice. For any enquiries with regard to the Society’s holdings please contact the Secretary by email or in writing

- Talks about Czech and Slovak musical topics, often in conjunction with other organisations.
- Social events where you can meet other members. We do not have branches, but regional events are increasing features of the Society’s activities.
- Tours to the Czech and Slovak Republics. Our friends have enabled us to visit some very special places normally closed to the public. See our Gallery.
