PATRONS

HOW YOU CAN HELP

St Giles Orchestra is committed to bringing better and better concerts and more ambitious and higher quality programmes to our audiences in the local, music loving community. Better concerts, and exciting musical partnerships do however cost money, and we have to cover essential costs. These include concert and rehearsal venue hire, hire of sets of sheet music and soloists´ and conductors’ fees.

St Giles Orchestra is a non-profit-making organisation, and its role in the local arts and music community is recognised in its charitable status (Registered Charity no 1109439).

The Orchestra is funded principally by member subscriptions and concert ticket sales. However, with rising costs we are always grateful for other sources of income from Patrons. The generous support of our private and corporate Patrons has enabled us to expand our repertoire and the range of soloists we use, so that we can enhance the musical experience we bring to our local community.

In addition to income from member subscriptions and concert admissions, our orchestra relies, like other ambitious orchestras, on donations from private and commercial sources. 

We want to continue developing the orchestra, allowing our audiences to enjoy new and exciting programmes and soloists, while at the same time coping with the rising costs of putting on concerts.

Charitable donations of any size are welcomed by the Orchestra from private or corporate sponsors. Donations over £100 entitles our PATRONS to receive two complementary tickets for each concert.

If the orchestra has brought you enjoyment, and you feel able to contribute to the orchestra's future development, we would like to ask you to consider supporting us. Please do not hesitate to email us (info@stgilesorchestra.org.uk).

Thank you for supporting St Giles Orchestra.
