Friends

The choir singing Sean Doherty

The Friends of The Epiphoni Consort are integral to the success of our choir.

As the choir enters its second decade, Epiphoni continues to aspire to the highest professional standards and to continually explore new repertoire and concert formats. With no guaranteed regular funding and ticket sales rarely covering the full cost of our artistic endeavours, the Friends provide vital support to ensure we can pursue exciting and novel projects and development opportunities for our members.

Specifically, your support helps us to:

  • Pursue new projects based on musical excellence, not profitability
  • Provide opportunities for our singers to work with leading vocal coaches and guest conductors
  • Continue to record our choir with prestigious record labels
  • Ensure that membership is open to all regardless of financial status, with no compulsory subscription and that any future members’ donation scheme is strictly opt-in
  • The scheme also provides an opportunity for supporters to get closer to the choir and to be the first to hear of our new projects and developments
