Orpheus Ambassadors
"Ambassadors" is the name we give to
our supporters' association. Our Ambassadors comprise the families and
friends of our singing members, people who enjoy our concerts and want to
support us, or they may be people who would like to sing with us but
recognise their talent in this respect is somewhat lacking! |
Where
the money goes . . .
As a registered charity the Choir is not permitted to make a profit as such but we are allowed to cover our running costs. These include hire of our rehearsal hall, purchase of printed music, stage uniform upkeep, musical director's fees, accompanist's fees, public liability insurance, printing and stationery, soloist fees, and a host of other expenses which mount up over the course of a year. The Choir's expenses are offset by subscriptions, concert fees, donations, grants and, of course, Ambassadors' contributions which provide about £200 per year (there are 50 or so Ambassadors on our books) towards our running costs. It's an expensive business keeping a Choir running which is why we appreciate so much the funds donated by our loyal Ambassadors.
