The Festival, in common with most classical music events, cannot be financed with box office income alone. We are therefore indebted to everyone whose magnificent support has enabled us to plan with confidence.
Benefactors work closely with the Festival Management to advise, encourage and support operational and artistic development. Their financial contributions allow the organisation to plan for future festivals and work towards a more sustainable future.
For further information on becoming a Festival Benefactor, please contact Sarah Rennix, General Manager: GM@southwellmusicfestival.com
