Give a donation |
|
Donations,
large or small, are always valuable. Even though Gillian donates
her performances, every activity costs money. Our aim is not
just to cover the cost of every performance but also to raise
funds to support the continuing work of the Concordia Foundation
and support other charities. This is a rough guide to some of
our costs:
- £25
is the minimum annual donation we ask of our Friends; it covers
the cost of a half hour lesson for a young music student;
- £50
pays for one session of casual help in the office;
- £100
pays the fee for a young orchestral musician;
- £250
covers the cost of the hire of music for an orchestral concert;
- £500
contributes towards two weeks' tuition for one student at music
summer school;
- £1,000
hires a venue, such as St John's Smith Square in London, for
a concert;
- £2,500
covers the cost of an educational rehearsal and performance of
a small ensemble of musicians, actors and singers;
- £5,000
enables four artists or opera singers to rehearse for a project
such as Vietnam;
- £10,000
covers musicians' fees and expenses and hire of music for an
orchestral concert.

Help us put on a performance |

If you have
spare time, specialist skills or a large room in which an event
could take place you could help bring a performance alive. Whether
you live in the UK or abroad, you could become involved in the
Concordia Foundation - Gillian travels round the world on Cunard
Seabourne ships so performances could be staged during stopovers;
otherwise, she is happy to fit in extra visits abroad for special
performances. Wherever you are you could:
- Chair or join
the organising committee or bring together a group of friends
to help you;
- Undertake
specific tasks that you do well and enjoy;
- Encourage
friends to buy tickets;
- Host the event
in your home or office or encourage others with large spaces
to do so.

Set up a specialist group of Friends |
|
|
If you know several
people who would like to support us, why not bring them together
in a specialist group of Friends - such as The American Friends
of Concordia - and organise events which would appeal specifically
to them and their wider circle. |
