Join the CUMS Supporters' Circle
Since it was founded in 1843, CUMS has provided unique opportunities for successive generations of Cambridge musicians. It has immeasurably enriched the cultural life of the university and city, and, having launched many of the biggest careers in classical music, it has played a pivotal role in the musical world beyond.
CUMS receives no core funding from the University, and income from ticket sales does not meet the full cost of delivering a world-class musical education. The CUMS Supporters' Circle has been established to address this pressing financial need.
All those who value Cambridge's splendid musical heritage, and who want the University to provide opportunities for the finest young musicians of the twenty-first century, are invited to join the CUMS Supporters' Circle. Membership of the Circle is through annual donation to CUMS. There are five levels of donation:
| Friend | £50-£99 per annum |
| Donor | £100-£249 per annum |
Friends and Donors enjoy
- contributing membership of The Society, entitling them to priority booking for performances
- acknowledgement in CUMS concert programmes and on the website
- invitations to drinks at each performance at West Road Concert Hall
- an invitation to the annual CUMS Garden Party
- regular updates on key CUMS projects and events
| Benefactor | £250-£499 per annum |
| Principal Benefactor | £500-£999 per annum |
All of the above, plus
- an invitation to dine at a conductor's table at the annual CUMS Dinner
- opportunities to sit in on selected rehearsals
| The Stanford Circle | £1,000+ per annum |
All of the above, plus the opportunity to be recognised as the supporter of a specific activity each season.
To become a Member of the CUMS Supporters' Circle, please complete a membership form and return it to the address shown thereon. If you pay UK or Capital Gains Tax, CUMS is able to boost your donation by 28 pence per pound through Gift Aid.
