Remember the CBSO in Your Will
CBSO is a registered charity no. 506276
‘I knew nothing about Classical music until a friend lent me a record of Tchaikovsky Five and so I took myself off to the Town Hall. In those days Harold Gray was conducting and, I confess, I was hooked straight away and so began my long association with the CBSO. I'm horrified to realise that's over 50 years!
My son's a freelance musician and player now in London. And he always complains that, whenever he phones me of an evening, I'm never in because I'm always out at concerts. I mentioned to him that I'd like to leave a legacy to the CBSO and he agreed what a good idea it is. We both know how much orchestras depend on their supporters, especially as other sources of funding are limited. The CBSO has brought me so much pleasure over many years. I want to ensure that our wonderful Orchestra goes on long after I'm gone.'

If you have had a lifetime's pleasure from classical music performed by the CBSO, why not help ensure our future by leaving a legacy to the Orchestra in your Will?
A donation to the CBSO is a wonderful tribute to anyone who loved music. By remembering the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra you will be ensuring that future generations will benefit from your own musical legacy. Your support will help the CBSO maintain its high quality artistic programme and that its pioneering education and community projects continue to thrive for years to come.
The CBSO's work could not continue without the generous bequests from our many supporters. Every contribution - large or small - will bring pleasure to all music-lovers.
