Exeter Philharmonic Choir, established in 1846, is very grateful for the generosity of its supporters over many years. Their support ensures that we can continue our long tradition of providing high-quality choral music as an important part of the South West’s cultural scene.
The choir greatly appreciates the contributions, large and small, of our Friends and Sponsors. With their help we can both maintain a high standard of music ourselves and also offer performance opportunities to local young musicians as soloists or in youth choirs.
If you would like to play your part too, there are several ways in which you can support us.

 
Supporters or Patrons
Individual people can become either Supporters or Patrons, both of whom receive a range of benefits, such as priority booking for concert tickets, invitations to choir social events and a newsletter. Patrons enjoy the additional benefit of a free ticket for one of our concerts and free concert programmes. The names of all Supporters and Patrons are printed in our concert programmes.

Annual membership as a Supporter currently costs £25 (£37.50 for a couple). Annual membership as a Patron costs £60 (£90 for a couple). Please click on the link to our leaflet for more information, or email friends@exeterphilharmonic.org.uk

Corporate sponsorship
We also welcome organisations as Corporate Sponsors of the choir. We present five concerts a year, mostly in Exeter Cathedral, to audiences from the South West and beyond. Possibilities include single-concert sponsorship, annual sponsorship, sponsorship of a venue or sponsorship of a soloist. Corporate sponsors receive acknowledgement in our concert programmes and on the choir’s website. For full details of options and costs, please email
