Our courses create a friendly atmosphere for playing.

Become a Friend (or an Angel)

Join our community of supporters

The Friends & Angels of Rehearsal Orchestra bring together our community of supporters (players and non-players alike) whilst building up a basis of financial support for our work going into the future.

For an annual donation (suggested minimum £50, £25 for students/unwaged), as a Friend you can help ensure the future survival and success of the Orchestra. You can give via our online giving page on Give as you Live. If you would like to donate by standing order through your bank, you can find the details on the form below.

If you are a UK tax payer, Gift Aiding your donation will significantly increase its value at no additional cost to you.

Committing a four-figure sum makes you an Angel! Such a donation might be spread over two or three years. All Angels will be listed in our Annual Report (unless you would prefer to stay anonymous). Alternatively, as a potential Angel you might prefer to offer a guarantee, to be called upon as necessary.

To join, fill in a Friends & Angels form here.

Please send completed forms to the administrator, Anne-Marie Norman, using any of the methods detailed on the form.

"I support the Rehearsal Orchestra as a Friend because, for an amateur, the RO provides the perfect platform to allow us to work on some of the great works that we will almost certainly never play in the normal course of amateur orchestral playing."

"It was an obvious choice for us to sign up as RO Friends, which we did several years ago. After all, Everybody needs Friends!"
