Stratford upon Avon Choral Society was founded in 1836 - that's one year before Queen Victoria came to the throne! We have a long tradition of choral excellence, based on a shared passion for performing great choral music to the highest standard we can.
Our patrons are non-singing members who share this passion and who support the Society financially. Performing choral music to a high standard is expensive, particularly hiring professional soloists and a professional orchestra. It is the combination of a large and well rehearsed chorus performing with these professional musicians that makes our concerts so special.
Please consider becoming a patron.
We ask for a minimum donation of £95 per person for 2023-24. If you can make a larger donation we will be very gratefull.
As a patron, you will also benefit in the following ways:
- You will receive one free ticket for the November, December and March concerts.
- You may request reserved seats for yourself and for a companion, for whom a ticket must be bought in the normal way.
- You will receive a complimentary programme for each concert and a drink after the concert.
- Your name will be listed in our concert programme as a Patron (or you can choose not to be listed).
- Patrons are non-singing members of the society. You will receive the Society’s newsletters and an invitations to members' social gatherings.
- As a member, you will be invited to attend and will be able to vote at General Meetings of the Society.
