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.
