The support of the Friends  provides a vital contribution to the funding of concerts, education projects, new commissions and pre-concert talks.

Benefits of membership also include annual post-concert receptions with the opportunity to meet the players, regular newsletters, mail order CDs and access to the Friends only section of the Scottish Ensemble web-site.

Individual

String Fellows
Support from private individuals is crucial to enable the Scottish Ensemble’s exciting work to continue. Core public funding accounts for just 35% of our income and we have to raise at least £100,000 annually over and above our other earnings. Annual membership starts at £100 and rises to £5,000 for a named position in the group. If you are a UK tax payer, the value of your gift can be significantly increased by giving through Gift Aid.

If you would like to become a String Fellow and join our group of highly valued individual supporters, please contact us at:
