Friends Scheme
Why your support matters
The Holst Singers is a registered charity, committed to choral excellence and introducing new audiences to choral music. As part of this, we perform a wide range of activities, including:
- giving ground-breaking performances;
- recording projects;
- commissioning new music;
- touring, both in the UK and internationally.
Running a choir like The Holst Singers costs more than we can raise from ticket sales alone; even a sold-out concert may not cover costs. Financial support from our friends and supporters will play an essential role in enabling the choir to continue to make music of the highest standards and build an exciting future.
Getting involved
We hope that you will consider supporting the choir financially. But we don’t want the involvement of our Friends to end there. We would like to engage you in the life of the choir and, as our way of saying thank you, give you the chance to get to know us and how we work.
- Be among the first to know: receive an e-newsletter three times a year with advance notice of concerts and open rehearsal dates, CDs and other news about Stephen Layton and the Holst Singers.
- Get closer to rehearsal process: follow us as we prepare for performances with an invitation to an open rehearsal, followed by an informal wine reception.
- Receive special Friends rates for certain concerts and CDs
Thank you!
We want to say a heartfelt thank you from Stephen Layton and all the singers for helping to transform our future plans into a reality. We all have a commitment to producing the finest choral music, which moves and inspires, and sharing this widely. Your contributions will help us continue our work. Unless you wish to remain anonymous, the names of all our Friends will appear on our website with our thanks.
