About our Patrons Since 2008, Patrons have helped the RTWSO to achieve its ambitions by financially supporting the arts organisation. Their support brings together people with a passion for live classical music and an affection for the Kent-based orchestra. Patrons provide a vital source of income that contributes towards the operating costs of the RTWSO so that it can continue to book talented soloists and conductors, to engage the services of some professional players, to perform large-scale orchestral works, and to keep seat prices at affordable levels, particularly for young people. An annual donation of £250 or more entitles someone to become a Patron.  |

Why does the RTWSO need
Patrons? The orchestra needs extra financial help from its supporters because the income from ticket sales alone does not cover the cost of putting on first-class concerts. In fact, box office income contributes less than 60% of actual expenditure. Without the very generous support of Patrons, the RTWSO would not be playing this season. But we need more Patrons to help us present regular orchestral events and continue to entertain audiences. |
