Circle of Patrons

Supporting the next generation of musicians

We are delighted to launch the St Mary’s Music School’s Circle of Patrons, a new way for music enthusiasts and philanthropists to support the School and empower the next generation of professional musicians. 

Our Patrons make an annual donation of £1,000 or more and enjoy a programme of bespoke Patron Circle events, offering unique opportunities to meet and hear our pupils, Alumni and staff perform and gain insight into the life of the School.  

It is thanks to the support of our Patrons that the School is able to provide the very highest calibre of music teaching to out talented young pupils and offer such a diverse range of musical experiences and performance opportunities. 

If you are passionate about music then help us to nurture the musicians of tomorrow by becoming a Patron of St Mary’s Music School.
