Performing with such high quality orchestras and soloists is an expensive business. The costs of putting on a concert (including venue, publicity, hire of scores and orchestral parts, amongst many other expenses) are often in excess of £3000 and sometimes as much as £5000. Members pay their subscriptions to meet some of these costs, and ticket sales also make a significant contribution.

We are grateful that the Society’s friends, our Patrons and Sponsors, have shown their appreciation of our work in the form of donations. Because of their continued support and generosity we have been able to perform two very successful concerts this year, whilst remaining in a sufficiently stable financial position to make some exciting plans for the future. Andover Choral Society is indeed fortunate to have such generosity supporting high quality music-making in the community.
