It offers members of the public and those who have an association with the Cathedral's music an opportunity to support it directly, both financially and by their presence. This new initiative is administered by the Cathedral's Music Society. B y becoming a Friend you will enable direct financial support of the Choral Scholarship Fund, the endowment fund for the Choir, the purchase of music, hire of instrumentalists for special occasions, and other projects which would otherwise not be possible, and appropriate publicity for the Cathedral and its Choir.
Patrons receive additional benefits.
