become a FRIEND

FRIEND MEMBERSHIP

Thank you for considering becoming a Friend and supporting us in this unique way. You may or may not be surprised to know that ticket sales alone cover less than half of our production costs, consistent with other arts organisations in this country. Sadly, this results in us relying heavily on private donations in order to keep doing what we do.

 

Our Friends programme has become one of our proudest achievements, not only collectively resulting in a hugely reliable income stream throughout our concert season but also creating a growing family of supporters, many of whom have become personal friends of ours along the way. 

 

It is safe to say that without the support of our Echor Friends and the generosity of our Echor Sponsors, we would not exist today. 

​

As a Friend, you will also enjoy the following:

​​​​​

  • Free concert programmes

  • A newsletter with exclusive behind-the-scenes information and interviews with our musicians.

  • Invite to our complimentary annual Friends event/concert

  • The chance to sit in on one of our orchestra rehearsals to enjoy a unique and exclusive musical experience. 

If you are interested in securing Echor's future in the Chilterns, we would be over the moon. You can do this by purchasing a Friends membership in the Donation box on this page.

 

A single annual membership is £25 and a duo membership is £40.

​If you would like to donate a higher amount, you can select the custom amount and follow the instructions. â€‹

 

We would hugely appreciate it if you would Gift-Aid your donation, as it makes a huge difference to us.

 

If you would like to become a private sponsor, please get in touch with us directly at echor@echormusic.com 

 

Thank you for your invaluable support. We look forward to welcoming you as a part of our growing Echor Family!
