Your support helps every aspect of the orchestra's work.

Play On and our Friends Membership programmes support our vital core operational costs, the costs that underpin all our activity. This support makes our concert series possible, enabling our exceptional players to perform and take part in our Learning & Participation programmes. It helps pay for venues, rehearsals, and the management team that supports our players. For guest collaborators, commissions, and recordings. For tours, schools and community programmes…the list goes on.

Our Chair Partners programme gives an opportunity to get even closer to the orchestra and direct your support towards a particular player.

Our Sinfonia Circle is for major donors who can choose to direct their support towards a particular aspect of our work, such as Learning & Participation, Commissions, Concerts, Touring, Recordings etc

All our programmes will offer you the opportunity to get to know the players better, and join a warm and friendly group of likeminded supporters at concerts and Supporter events throughout the year.

Please explore our various support programmes to find out more, or if you have any questions, do contact our Development team at support@brittensinfonia.com
