Memberships

Join today to get closer to our musicians and our work while providing vital support for our world-class concerts and educational programmes.

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.

Would you like to have the opportunity to travel with us on tour, connect with individual musicians, and meet other members for drinks at concerts? If so, explore the additional benefits available in our Circles memberships below.

You can also take a look at our Members' Events here.

"It's such a privilege to watch and listen to the orchestra in rehearsal. Observing a rehearsal adds another dimension to the concert performance and furthers my huge admiration for the wonderful CBSO."
