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:

  • Complimentary tickets to the sponsored concert

  • Invitation to interval drinks with soloists and/or the conductor

  • Your corporate logo on promotional literature

  • Specific acknowledgement in the concert programme and announcement of sponsorship at the concert itself

  • Half page advertising in the concert programme

You can sponsor a concert for £100; please contact our Administrator at

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.
