Orchestral Chair Partners

By sponsoring an Orchestral Chair, you can choose to support any instrument that you especially enjoy hearing or which fascinates you.

In the large orchestra for the Poulenc and Beethoven May 2025 concert there are 42 players so there will be an ideal Orchestral Chair for you, whatever your choice of instrument – from piccolo to tuba!

The following Orchestral Chairs are available to sponsor:

  • Bassoon
  • Cello
  • Clarinet
  • Double Bass
  • Flute
  • French Horn
  • Oboe
  • Piccolo
  • Timpani
  • Trombone
  • Trumpet
  • Tuba
  • Viola
  • Violin

To sponsor an Orchestral Chair in full, a donation in the region of £175 is requested. Of course, smaller donations, from say £50, would also be much appreciated and, if you are a taxpayer, Gift Aid makes your donation even more valuable.

Unless you wish to remain anonymous, your donation will be acknowledged in the Society’s concert programme.

The Orchestral Chair Partner sponsorship form, with details of how to pay, can be found here or is available from our Treasurer, Tim Whorlow, email ashfordchoraltreasurer@zoho.com.

As an Orchestral Chair Partner, your support will enable Ashford Choral Society to continue to employ high quality orchestral musicians into the future.
