JOIN AS A FRIEND OR PATRON

Our community of Friends and Patrons across the world are helping to shape the future of cathedral music.

Through the generosity of our Friends and Patrons, Cathedral Music Trust can continue to support musicians, choristers, and cathedral communities, ensuring that the beauty, inspiration, and cultural significance of cathedral music can be experienced and cherished for generations to come.

Becoming a Friend or Patron of Cathedral Music Trust is an opportunity to:

  • make a meaningful charitable contribution and demonstrate your support for the cathedral music, musicians, choral and organ traditions you value
  • deepen your connection to the world of cathedral music, discover new stories and perspectives, and stay informed about the work being done to preserve and champion this extraordinary heritage
  • become part of a community of supporters, music lovers, and advocates united by a shared commitment to safeguarding cathedral music for future generations

Take pride in knowing that your Friendship is helping to shape the future of a living tradition and, in return you’ll enjoy regular contact with the Trust helping to bring you closer to the music and our programmes.

You are welcome to contact us to talk more about joining as a friend or patron. Please call us on 020 3151 6096 or email us on info@cathedralmusictrust.org.uk.
