Benefactors
© Robert Riley
As a charitable organisation, Gloucester Choral Society is grateful for and, indeed, dependent upon the dedicated support of our members, audience and sponsors. Unfortunately, hosting a season of top quality choral music does not happen by itself. However, thanks to your support, we have been able to work with some superb musicians, such as The Philharmonia, The British Sinfonietta Orchestra, world-renowned clarinettist Emma Johnson and acclaimed soloist Hye-Youn Lee. This means wonderful concerts for you and an amazing experience for us as singers.
If you would like to support us, there are a number of ways in which you can, such as through our Benefactors scheme, donations, legacies, or simply coming to our concerts and events.
Benefactors Scheme
We truly appreciate all the support we have received from our Patrons and our Friends over the 20 or so years since the inception of the scheme under the leadership of Bernard Day. We have recently updated the old Patrons and Friends scheme and have created a new Benefactors Scheme.
Could you support us in continuing to offer the concerts you enjoy? Join us and receive invitations to social occasions with the choir as well as a range of benefits when you donate. Adding gift aid (if applicable) benefits GCS even more.
Bronze £42 single/joint. Free programme for each concert.
Silver £60 single/£90 joint. As bronze plus no booking fees.
Gold £145 single/£230 joint. As silver plus one/two free top price tickets per season, discounted additional tickets.
Platinum single/joint £500. As silver plus eight free tickets per season, discounted additional tickets.
Corporate £500. As silver plus four free top price tickets per season, free half page advert in programmes.
Please return your completed application form and standing order, plus gift aid form if applicable, to our Benefactors Manager, Anthea Holland at 2 Beaufort Villas, Holts Road, Newent, GL18 1BT or via email
