Friends of Sheffield Philharmonic Chorus

Membership of The Friends offers you the chance to support us by becoming part of our Chorus family throughout the year, with the opportunity to keep up to date with Chorus plans, attend our AGM and social, and perhaps help out at self-funded concerts and events.

Benefits of becoming a Friend of the Chorus

• listing in every concert programme, whether at the City Hall or other large, prestigious concert venue, or for one of our self funded concerts at a smaller venue
• one complimentary ticket for each of our self-funded concerts
• invitation to a Friends drinks and nibbles event, held prior to at least one concert each year, eg in the City Bar at the City Hall
• opportunity to meet our Music Director and soloists, eg, at Friends drinks and nibbles events
• invitation to observe our Annual General Meeting (AGM) and to attend the cheese and wine social that follows it
• invitation to other social events that may be organised (eg Friends were invited to our 75th Anniversary celebration, and to the wonderful social we held in the City Hall ballroom, with French and German colleagues, following our brass Messiah in 2022)

The Sheffield Philharmonic Chorus has been an integral part of cultural life in Sheffield for more than 75 years,  providing high quality music for local and national audiences. Members of the music-loving public are offered the opportunity to become part of this vibrant, focused organisation and to contribute to its continuing success.

You can become a Friend of the Chorus for £120 a year.

Sponsoring our self-funded concerts

As Resident Chorus at the City Hall, we work with trusted partners Sheffield City Trust and the Halle Concert Society to perform great choral works with leading conductors and orchestras. We also promote concerts in our own right, whether at the City Hall or at other venues in Sheffield or further afield. Sponsorship of these concerts  is a great way for individuals or organisations to contribute to the arts while enjoying the following benefits:

Becoming a Trustee

We are always looking for new Trustees, and you don’t need to be a Chorus member to offer your services in this way. Trustees look after Sheffield Philharmonic Chorus the charity, making sure we stick to our charitable objects and meet our public benefit requirements while remaining financially viable.  If you have expertise in charitable governance, fundraising or policy making and could commit to attending around six trustee meetings each year, we would very much appreciate your help as a trustee. As with the Friends of the Chorus, you would be able to keep up with our plans, meet soloists at some of our concerts and attend the special buffets we have before some of our concerts.
