Friends of ESO
The Friends of ESO Scheme is a highly active programme that encourages our regular attendees and other supporters to take a closer interest in the development of the orchestra. With an annual donation of £30 or more, you too can join in and help the orchestra fund activities that enhance its reputation and develop its standing in the music world. Staging a concert costs us on average around £5,000, so theirs is a vital contribution. Some Friends help us fund our George Lloyd Symphonic Cycle and contribute to the cost of soloists, while others want to encourage local music. In return, Friends receive a number of privileges:
Reserved seats in a row/position of their choice (please email to reserve)
Complimentary seat cushions
A Friends of ESO e-newsletter with ‘insider information’ on the orchestra
A chance to purchase a recording of our concerts
A chance to meet soloists and other VIPs
An open invitation to sit in on rehearsals
