Our patrons’ schemes really help the Orchestra. In return for your support, we guarantee our Patrons tickets for each concert (and send them out in advance!), and offer you suitable acknowledgement in the concert programme. Also, as a special “thank you”, we put on an extra concert each year, just for our Patrons. It takes the form of a “Sunday tea” event, with a variety of musical entertainment, afternoon tea and a musical quiz. The Patrons’ Tea is usually held in March.
BHSO offers two ways in which you can support the Orchestra by becoming a patron: Business Patrons and Personal Patrons. For further information please ring Jacky on 01444 230977.
