Supporting the Choir and ‘Great Choral Music’
The Worcester Festival Choral Society is an independent, self-funding charitable organisation (Reg No: 506826). We are a friendly group of amateur singers, enthusiastic about classical choral music and bringing it to our wonderful City. All Choir and Committee members’ time is given freely. Our main sources of revenue are derived from ticket sales, members’ subscriptions and partnerships with individuals. Trusts and businesses who share our vision also participate in a range of ways, which we gratefully acknowledge. We would be extremely grateful for your support at any level and look forward to hearing from you!
Buy tickets
One of the most important things you can do to support us is to buy tickets for our concerts, and encourage as many of your friends as possible to come along too. Tickets for the current season are priced £10-£25 and are bookable online HERE; from the ‘Worcester Live’ Box Office at Huntingdon Hall Worcester, telephone 01905 611427; or purchased on the Cathedral door on the evening of the concert (subject to availability). Concessions on some seats are available to people aged 60 or over, to those registered disabled and to full-time students. Children aged 9-15 years accompanying a paying adult are admitted free (limited to one children’s ticket per paying adult). Parties of 10 or more booking together will receive a 10% reduction.If you are not an active singer but you enjoy classical or choral music and supporting the arts, you might like to consider becoming a Patron.
Perhaps you know someone who runs a business and who would be interested in advertising in our programme, or exploring a special sponsorship partnership. Our Marketing & Publicity Officer would be delighted to hear from you. Contact us.
