Patrons and advertising


Corporate Patrons

Current patron: Birkett Long.
The Choir’s funds come from members’ subscriptions, with tax recovery schemes, a grant from the University in recognition of the amenity that we provide for students, the sale of tickets and programmes and the sale of advertising space in programmes.

The cost of putting on concerts with a professional orchestra and soloists is high and the choir has been very fortunate to receive outstandingly generous sponsorship from major contributors in the past, including Anglian Water and John Jarrold Trust.

We would welcome further support to help us continue to deliver high quality performances.

Patrons

Patrons of the choir are acknowledged in our programmes and receive a £12.50 voucher per concert to offset against ticket purchase, with priority booking.

The minimum annual subscription for Patrons is £150.

Patrons for 2022/2023 are Andrew and Michelle Moseley-Gould.

If you would like to become a Patron please contact choir@essex.ac.uk
