Ways to support us

       WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE ONGOING SUPPORT OF OUR SPONSORS      ​​​​​​  ​​                                   
                                    
With its long tradition of music-making, Exeter Philharmonic Choir has a strong ethos of bringing people together to experience the joy of choral singing, and to provide high-quality live music for the city of Exeter and the surrounding area. We have an exciting concert season ahead, and equally ambitious programmes for the following years.

Staging major concerts is increasingly costly and can no longer be achieved solely through ticket sales and members’ subscriptions. We also need the support and generosity of individuals and of our local business community.

There are various ways you can support us – as a Friend, a Sponsor, an Advertiser and/or a Donor – and by remembering the choir in your will.

 
BECOME A FRIEND OF EXETER PHILHARMONIC CHOIR

As a Friend, you will have priority booking for our coming season and a 15% discount for one or more concerts (according to level of Friend subscription). You will also receive a complimentary programme with your discounted ticket and a complimentary ticket to a special Friends event during the year. You will be welcome to join us at post-concert receptions and be invited to come to a rehearsal, attend our AGM and join in other choir events. 
In addition, Friends receive a regular Newsletter, and your support will be acknowledged in all concert programmes and on the choir website.
 
For more information about the Friends Scheme or to join, please contact friends@exeterphilharmonic.org.uk

BUSINESS SPONSORSHIP AND ADVERTISING

We are keen to involve the wider local business community in our concert activities and offer both sponsorship and advertising opportunities.


Business sponsorship can be tailored to suit the specific interests and marketing needs of your business, including regular programme advertising, sponsoring a professional soloist or concert venue, or supporting printing or other concert costs.

In return, we offer circulation of your corporate message to more than 150 performers (including instrumentalists), audiences of around 700 for our Cathedral concerts and several thousand music-lovers on our mailing lists. For further details, please contact Graeme Barnell at
sponsorship@exeterphilharmonic.org.uk

 
DONATIONS AND LEGACIES

We very much appreciate individual donations of any size to support our work, as well as donations made through legacies in a will.

 
Donations and legacies can benefit the choir in so many ways: hiring venues such as Exeter Cathedral; engaging and encouraging talented young soloists; and working with top orchestras and ensembles to enhance the Exeter musical scene.
 
The choir is a registered charity and legacies to charities can also be beneficial in inheritance tax arrangements.
 
Simply use the 'donate' link in the menu, or to discuss possibilities of individual donations or legacies, please contact treasurer@exeterphilharmonic.org.uk
