Membership & Donations
Welcome to CBSO Members' Priority Booking
If you are not already logged in, you will now be asked to log in to your THSH account in order to access priority booking. Once you are logged in, use the black BACK TO CBSO button to return to the main CBSO website, browse and add concerts to your basket.
Join us as a member or make a donation to get closer to our musicians and our work while providing vital support for our world-class concerts and educational programmes.
Membership is a great way to get closer to the music, the Orchestra and its musicians and as we approach the Orchestra's centenary in 2020, now is an incredibly exciting time to join us at the CBSO.
All members have the chance to sit in on rehearsals, to meet musicians at our afternoon teas and other special events, and to receive behind-the-scenes news, as well as priority booking before concerts go on sale to the general public.
Those giving at higher levels have the opportunity to travel with us on tour, experience educational work, connect with individual musicians, meet other members for drinks at concerts and support specific concerts.
For more information on joining, please contact Eve Vines, Individual Giving Manager on 0121 616 6541, or Bethan McKnight, Development Administrator on 0121 616 6510, or download and return a CBSO Membership Form.
“An excellent way of making new like-minded friends, meeting some of the musicians and learning more about this amazing internationally-famous orchestra. Please join us!”
