Support the CBSO

At the heart of the CBSO family is the world-class orchestra that hundreds of thousands of people across the globe know and love. But, as an educational charity, great concerts are just the start of our extraordinary programme and every year we have to generate around £9m to make it all happen. We already have invaluable support from hundreds of individual donors, businesses, private foundations and our public funders, for which we are extremely grateful. However, we need more investment to sustain our existing charitable activities and to reach even further – more fantastic performances by our orchestras, choruses and ensembles; more support for gifted young musicians; and even more extensive activity in our schools and communities.

Whether you are an individual or represent a business or trust, and whether you feel able to make a small or large gift, your investment will make a significant difference. Do explore these pages to find out more about the different ways you can support us and how your investment will help the CBSO and the thousands of people that we work with every year. Alternatively, please contact Alexandra, Calum and Claire in our development team as we can always advise on the best option for you. Either way, we promise a very warm welcome. We couldn’t do it without you, so thank you.
