FINANCIAL SUPPORT PATRON | £2,500 per annum

As a Financial Support Patron, you will cover the full membership for one child who might not otherwise be able to accept their place at NCO to explore their musical creativity and fulfil their potential. Your donation would be restricted for use only as financial support. As a thank you, we will ensure you have opportunity to see the child or children in rehearsals to see the impact of your support, first-hand.
PRINCIPAL PATRON | £5,000 per annum
Help us ensure that NCO children work with the brightest musical talent by supporting the Conductor’s Circle. With your help, we will secure the most exceptional conductors to mentor, inspire and lead our orchestras every year. Joining the circle will also provide you with:
- Four best-house complimentary tickets to each public NCO concert;
- Four invitations for you and your guests to a pre-concert reception to meet our guest conductors;
- Plus all the benefits of an NCO Patron.
“I support NCO because I want children to have opportunities to experience high-level orchestral training at a level that I never had the chance to experience at their age.” – NCO Friend
