Patrons & Friends
What would we do without you? We truly appreciate all the support we receive from our Patrons and our Friends and we’d like to invite you to join them.
Your support allows us to work with some superb musicians, such as The Philharmonia, The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, world-renowned clarinettist Emma Johnson and acclaimed soloist Hye-Youn Lee. This means wonderful concerts for you and an amazing choral experience for us.
