About your Friends & Patrons payment
Friends & Patrons payments include the value of your complimentary concert tickets and a suggested voluntary donation to Bishop’s Stortford Sinfonia.

For Friends, the £50 payment comprises £36 for two concert tickets and a £14 voluntary donation.
For Patrons, the £150 payment comprises £108 for six concert tickets and a £42 voluntary donation.
For Patron + Season Pass, the £175 payment comprises £144 for eight concert tickets and a £31 voluntary donation.

The donation element is entirely voluntary. You can join Friends & Patrons and receive the same ticket benefits without making the additional donation. If you would like to do this, please contact us at info@bishopsstortfordsinfonia.com. We hope that, where you are able, you will choose to make the voluntary donation. Your donation directly supports the work of Bishop’s Stortford Sinfonia.

Your support makes a difference

Your support as a Friend or Patron helps us do much more than simply put on concerts. It gives the Sinfonia the confidence to plan ambitious programmes, work with outstanding professional musicians and create opportunities for young players and audiences to experience live orchestral music.

Most importantly, your support helps us keep developing a thriving orchestra here in Bishop’s Stortford — bringing exciting music to our community while keeping our concerts accessible, including free tickets for children and young people.

Using your complimentary tickets

Friends & Patrons can use their complimentary tickets in whatever combination suits them across the Sinfonia’s season.

Once you’ve joined, we’ll send you everything you need to book your complimentary tickets through our normal online box office. You can then choose which concerts you’d like to attend and book your complimentary tickets alongside any additional tickets you may wish to purchase.

Gift Aid your support

If you’re a UK taxpayer, the Sinfonia can claim Gift Aid on the voluntary donation element of your Friends & Patrons payment, increasing the value of your support at no additional cost to you.

You can complete a Gift Aid declaration online in just a couple of minutes.
