Talk on the conservation of Ralph Vaughan Williams' original working copy of Bach's St Matthew Passion score

Friends and Patrons of the Leith Hill Musical Festival provide crucial support for the work of one of the UK’s greatest choral events. Join a like-minded group of people and actively assist us by becoming part of the wider LHMF community. In return for an annual subscription you will enjoy a range of benefits:

All Friends and Patrons will:

• be kept up to date with Festival concerts and activities
• be invited to Friends and Patrons special events such as the coffee morning
• receive priority booking for Messiah, the Passions and the April Festival concerts.

Friends will also receive a voucher for a free programme. The programme serves as admission to both a competition morning and the same day's afternoon rehearsal. If unable to attend a competition or rehearsal, Friends may use the voucher to collect a free programme at a Festival concert (this includes Messiah/Passion). The minimum donation for Friends is £20. Payments may be made annually by cheque or Banker's Order.

Patrons will also:

• receive a membership card that will entitle them to free programmes for the April concerts and Messiah/Passion
• receive free admission to the adult competitions and concert rehearsals (does not include Youth Choirs competition)
• have their names listed in the Festival programmes, unless we are advised otherwise.

The minimum donation for Patrons is £50. Payments may be made annually by cheque or Banker's Order, or twice a year by Banker's Order ONLY (£25 every six months starting at the date of renewal). 

Friends and Patrons who make a donation as a couple will receive one voucher or membership card, unless the donation is £40 for Friends or £100 for Patrons.
