Launch of Patrons programme
Sheffield Chamber Orchestra is delighted to announce the launch of our brand-new Patrons Programme — an exciting opportunity for our audience and supporters to play a vital role in sustaining the orchestra’s music-making for years to come.
Our Patrons are at the heart of what we do. Their generosity helps us to stage concerts of exceptional quality, nurture local musical talent, and share the joy of live music with audiences across Sheffield and beyond. In return, we offer a range of benefits designed to bring Patrons closer to the orchestra — from early ticket access and premium seating to exclusive insights and invitations to special events.
The new programme offers four levels of support, allowing everyone to contribute in a way that suits them and with a donation that they can afford:
Bronze Patron (up to £50/year) – Enjoy one Premium ticket per concert at standard prices and the satisfaction of helping live chamber music thrive in Sheffield.
Silver Patron (up to £100/year) – Receive two Premium tickets per concert, along with priority updates and heartfelt thanks for your valued support.
Gold Patron (up to £200/year) – Enjoy four Premium tickets per concert, special recognition in our programmes, and the knowledge that you’re sustaining our musicians and concerts throughout the season.
Platinum Patron (over £200/year) – Our deepest gratitude to those whose extraordinary generosity transforms what we do. Platinum Patrons receive exclusive invitations and the warmest thanks from every member of the orchestra.
As a registered UK charity, donations are tax-deductible and eligible for Gift Aid, meaning we can reclaim an additional 25% of your contribution at no extra cost to you. Every pound you give directly supports our players, performances, and outreach work.
“Our Patrons make a real difference,” says Julie Ryan, Chair of Sheffield Chamber Orchestra. “Their support ensures that we can continue to perform inspiring music at the highest level, while keeping our concerts accessible to everyone.”
If you’ve ever been moved by one of our performances, we invite you to take the next step — become a Patron and be part of the story behind the music.
