The Garden Route Music Society was founded in October 2021 under the patronage of Lady Conyngham. The musical curator of the society is the hugely respected composer/conductor/music producer, John Walton.

Although the emphasis is on showcasing South African Classical Music talent, the Society aims to bring excellence in all genres of music to the stages of the Garden Route of the Southern Cape, South Africa. The Society's 'home' is Bosky Dell, Plettenberg Bay, but it will be staging events at locations along the Garden Route. A spin-off of these presentations will be to create opportunities for local artists to perform as 'curtain raisers' for the shows.

The Society further aims to donate surplus funds to approved NPO's/PBO's in the greater Bitou Area.
