Support the Richmondshire Concerts as a Sponsor, Friend, Donor or Volunteer
Support us by becoming a sponsor
As a responsible charity we aim to break even on our concerts, with any additional educational or community activities supported by whatever surplus we may generate - that is where sponsorship is so useful, and can put the icing on the cake. It costs as little as £400 to sponsor a concert, and in exchange for your money we're happy to offer a few nice perks.
Individual sponsorship
Piano sponsorship
It can be expensive to hire in a concert grand piano of the quality expected by top performers - so when we arrange a piano recital we are always glad to have a Piano sponsor. Benefits are identical to Individual sponsorship. A recital may have both an Individual sponsor and a Piano sponsor.
Corporate sponsorship
Our sponsorship opportunities tend to be quickly snapped up, but if you'd like to put down a marker to sponsor a concert next season - with absolutely no commitment - please email [email protected]. And thank you.
Individual sponsorship
- Exclusive sponsorship of one of our six concerts. See below for possible non-exclusivity in the case of a piano performance.
- Formal acknowledgement, in a style agreed with you, in the concert programme.
- Acknowledgement in the concert introduction and on our website.
- Complimentary reserved seats at the sponsored concert for you and your guests.
- Free concert programmes and interval refreshments for your party.
- An optional introduction to the artists at the sponsored concert.

... or a Friend, or a donor
One reason we can hire excellent artists yet keep ticket prices so low is the extra money kindly given by people who enjoy our concerts. You can make a donation when buying your Season Ticket, in which case we’ll acknowledge you in every concert programme as a Friend, or:
- Make an electronic donation to sort-code 40-52-40, a/c 00023553. As the reference, use GIFT plus your phone number, so we can thank you.
- Leave a gift in your will, with this simple printable codicil.
... or a volunteer
We welcome volunteers to help sell concert programmes, act as stewards, shift furniture and pianos, drive artists to or from the station, provide B&B for artists, help run our database and website, and so on. If you could do even one of these tasks, even occasionally, or if you have another skill which you think we could use, we'd love to hear from you - contact [email protected]
