Become a Patron of Alma Consort

Long-term support for the music.

The Alma Patrons are our highest tier of support. Patrons underwrite our most ambitious work.

A Patron’s contribution lets us hire orchestras, commission new music, produce studio recordings, and, above all, fund the Alma Scholars programme. A patron’s gift can cover the full cost of mentoring and bursary for a young singer.

In return, we offer a closer relationship with the choir’s directors and musical experiences shaped around you.


Patron Benefits

All Patrons receive the benefits of the Friends and Partner programmes (priority booking, discounts, open rehearsal access, and programme recognition).

We offer three levels:

Associate Patron

Four free tickets a year to any performance, and a free copy of any CD recording. You can suggest concert ideas to the directors. Your name appears in concert programmes and recording liner notes (optional).

Patron

Everything in the Associate Patron tier, plus two one-hour music lessons a year with one of our directors, in London or online. Use the time for vocal coaching, piano lessons, or to talk through the scores we sing.

Principal Patron

Our most committed level. Principal Patrons have a voice in the choir’s future direction.

You receive a private performance by the choir at an event of your choosing — a dinner, a birthday, a corporate occasion — a curated 20-minute set. You also receive four one-hour music lessons a year with one of our directors, in London or online.

Common questions

Can I cancel any time?
Yes. You can cancel or pause your contribution whenever you like, from the receipt email Stripe sends you.
Can I change tier later?
Of course — cancel your current tier and start a new one, or email us and we'll move you across.
Is my donation Gift Aid eligible?
The Alma Consort is not currently a registered charity, so donations are not Gift Aid eligible. Every penny still goes directly to the choir and the Scholars programme.
How will I receive my benefits?
Once you've signed up we'll email you with everything you need — booking codes, programme notes, and invitations to open rehearsals.
