Join TSO Benefactors Scheme
How you can help
The Thirsk Sinfonia Orchestra is going to be the best orchestra ever in Thirsk but we will need your help to make this happen. We wish to bring you better concerts, exciting repertoire and amazing musicians and soloists. But all of this costs a huge amount of money, including the only hire venue in Thirsk large enough for a symphonic-sized orchestra.
Thirsk Sinfonia Orchestra is a non-profit, voluntary organisation that relies solely on audience numbers, donations and patrons’ subscriptions to bring music to rural Thirsk and the surrounding area.
To facilitate the orchestra’s development, we have three schemes designed for the benefit of audiences, friends and relations of orchestra members – ‘Friend’, ‘Patron’ and ‘Benefactor’.
Friend
Friends of the orchestra receive:
- One complimentary ticket for each of our 3 local TSO concerts
- 3 newsletters per year
- Two complimentary tickets to our annual summer party for orchestra members, Friends, Patrons, Benefactors and commercial sponsors
Membership of the TSO Friends Scheme costs £30 per year per person or £55 per couple per year.
Patron

- Two complimentary tickets for each our 3 local TSO concerts plus one guest ticket per year

Will you support us please?
We want to continue to develop the orchestra, allowing our audiences to enjoy new and exciting programmes and soloists, while at the same time coping with the rising costs of performing concerts in and around Thirsk.
To achieve this, we would like to increase the number of Friends, Patrons and Benefactors. If the orchestra has bought you enjoyment or you are a member and would enjoy the chance to keep playing in this amazing and local rural orchestra and feel able to contribute to the orchestra’s future development, we would like to ask you to consider supporting us by joing this scheme.
