Members' Events
About our events
Get closer to the Orchestra and help us continue to deliver amazing musical experiences.
Join us for exclusive events where you'll be greeted by CBSO staff, players, conductors and soloists.
Each event will offer you a unique insight into what goes on behind the scenes of a performance, and which highlights to listen out for on-stage. You'll meet like-minded members, and get a chance to swap stories about CBSO performances past, present, and future.
We host a variety of Members' events throughout the year, including afternoon teas, drinks receptions, Q+As, open rehearsals, and an annual gala dinner for top-level members. Whatever your interests, we have a Members' event for you.
How To Book
There are three ways to book:
- Online
