Arnold Jones
Arnold Jones was the founder of Wolverton and District Gilbert and Sullivan Society. He was the musical director and the driving force behind the Wolverton Light Orchestra for almost 28 years and around 200 concerts.
In 1951 Arnold was appointed choirmaster at the Wesley Methodist Church in Wolverton. He went on to stage concerts with the choir and orchestra including a performance of “The Messiah”. He went on to preside over a further 22 annual concerts including several Savoy Operas so a Gilbert and Sullivan Society was a natural progression for him.
He was musical director of the Wolverton and District Gilbert and Sullivan Society as it was originally called from 1975, the year he formed the society, until 1992. He staged over 20 Gilbert and Sullivan operas in that time as well as many other concerts with the group.
