Music Patron Scheme

For centuries, Hereford Cathedral has been a beacon of musical excellence, preserving and enhancing a choral tradition that enriches worship, inspires faith, and nurtures the next generation of musicians. Now, you can become a part of this extraordinary heritage by joining Hereford Cathedral's Perpetual Trust Music Patron Scheme.

Supporting choral music at Hereford Cathedral is about more than sustaining beautiful sounds. It’s about keeping alive a tradition that has shaped the lives of countless choristers, organists, and scholars — many of whom have gone on to build remarkable careers in music. It’s also about ensuring that we continue to offer excellence in worship, inspiring and uplifting our congregation and visitors from near and far.

What does it mean to be a Music Patron?
By joining the Music Patron scheme, you’ll not only play a vital role in sustaining our choral tradition but also gain behind-the-scenes insights into our music department. As a Music Patron, you’ll enjoy:

Supporter Level 
£25 per month or £300 annually
Receive regular updates on the impact of your gift, along with invitations to special events showcasing our choir and musicians.

Benefactor Level 
£50 per month or £600 annually
All the benefits of Supporter Level, plus exclusive behind-the-scenes access to experience, first hand, the work of our music department.

Principal Patron 
£100 per month or £1200 annually, or above
All the benefits of Benefactor Level, plus priority seating at major cathedral concerts, and recognition in our concert programmes.

Your support will make a tangible difference. Whether it’s funding bursaries for young music scholars, maintaining the Father Willis organ or providing the resources needed to sustain our choir, every contribution ensures the future of Hereford Cathedral’s music ministry.

By becoming a Music Patron, you’ll be part of a vibrant community that supports Hereford Cathedral’s musical excellence.
