The
Friends of the CPSO are a group of increasingly active supporters of the
orchestra. The annual membership the friends pay (£10-15) helps financially
towards the staging of concerts. In return, Friends have advance notice of
concert dates and programmes and a chance for early purchase of tickets at a
concessionary price. At most concerts Friends’ seats are situated in a block,
towards the front of the theatre to ensure a good view.
During the last four seasons, Friends have been given the opportunity to
enjoy social events, to see the working of the orchestra at open rehearsals –
and, occasionally, chances for offering practical, behind the scenes help. This
includes stewarding and being involved with fund-raising events – nothing too
onerous, as our increasing membership (somewhat over 60 at the end of last
season) allows for a rota system of volunteers. The involvement strengthens our
relationship with the players and there is an increasing sense that we have a
role to play in the orchestra’s future. We have experienced five enjoyable
years with excellent concerts, and we look forward to continuing our support and
extending our activities into this and future seasons. Some exciting events are
already in preparation!
