Patron of the 2010 festival 

This may appeal more to businesses that wish to be involved in the ongoing support of the festival but we are happy, of course, to hear from individuals as well. Business logos (or individuals’ names) will appear in the programme and you will be invited to the ‘Patrons and Friends’ champagne reception on May 9th. You will also be given a 2 week priority-booking period before the box office opens to the general public. Additionally, ‘Patrons’ may claim one top price ticket for any three concerts.

 

Cost - a minimum donation of £500 to become a ‘Patron of the 2010 festival’  

 

Friend of the 2010 Festival  

This may be more appropriate for private individuals or smaller businesses. Again names will appear in the programme (unless you wish to remain anonymous) and you will be invited to the ‘Patrons and Friends’ Champagne reception on May 9th. You will also be given a 1 week priority-booking period before the box office opens to the general public. Additionally, ‘Friends’ may claim one top price ticket for any one concert during the week  

 

Cost – a minimum donation of £100 to become a ‘Friend of the 2010 festival’

The ‘Chipping Campden Festival Academy’ (created in 2008) gives advanced students from the UK’s top conservatoires, or recent graduates, an opportunity to work alongside the finest professional musicians.!We welcome new trainees each year but many of the professionals remain the same to give the project continuity. There is no suggested amount for ‘patrons’ but, as a guide, donations last year ranged from £50 - £350. All ‘Patrons’ get a 1 week priority booking period for the 3 orchestral concerts, will be acknowledged in the programme unless they wish to remain anonymous, and will be invited to the sponsors reception on May 9th.

 

Make up of the Academy Orchestra:  

To ensure the highest standard of quality the orchestra is comprised of 50% experienced orchestral musicians and 50% ‘Trainees’. Each ‘desk’ seats one professional and one ‘trainee’ together. During the 2010 festival CCFA will perform with soloists of international standing; the brilliant young soprano, Elizabeth Watts, the acclaimed violinist, Nicola Benedetti, and our festival president the magnificent pianist, Paul Lewis. Once again the orchestra will be lead by Ruth Rogers and Thomas Hull will be our conductor. There will be open orchestral rehearsals and workshops in schools given by both the trainees and the professionals.

 

Accommodation

Last year we kept costs down by placing the musicians in private houses and hope to do so again. We have already had an excellent response but need a few more hosts in or close to Chipping Campden. They will need accommodation from Sunday 16th – Sat 22nd May. All ‘Hosts’ will get a 1week priority booking period for the orchestral concerts, an acknowledgement in the programme, and an invite to the sponsors reception on May 9th.

 

All details are on the form

In addition to the great savings on season tickets, this year we are offering two special ticket packages.
