Become a Friend or Patron of Durham Choral Society
If you are often in our audience and enjoy our concerts,
have you ever thought of becoming a Friend or Patron?
There is no doubt that the loyal support of our Friends and Patrons and their financial contribution is invaluable to a choir such as ours. Friends have told us they appreciate the ‘glorious music-making’ and ‘so much fulfilling enjoyment’ .
We are keen to enlarge our community of Friends and Patrons to support the choir and we are introducing the new Patrons Scheme for the 2023-24 Season.
Friends are supporters who choose to make an annual subscription to benefit the Society. For the coming Season 2023-2024 the subscription will be at least £30. On completion of a gift aid form, this increases the benefit to the Society by about £5.50*.
Patrons are supporters of the Arts who choose to show their support for the Society by making a one-off gift, currently at least £400. On completion of a Gift Aid Form, this increases the benefit to the Society by about £80*.
As a thank you for your support and generosity you will receive:
-
Discounted tickets for you
-
The option to buy tickets for your guests at full price
-
Invitations to Society social functions and concert receptions
-
Recognition in concert programmes and on the DCS Website (unless anonymity is requested)
-
A personal welcome in Durham Cathedral
-
A free concert programme for each Friend
-
Bi-annual newsletter with Concert reminder.
-
Complimentary ticket for the Christmas Concert
