Leader Vacancy

Who are the Friends of Worthing Philharmonic Orchestra?

Any person or organisation who wishes to show their support of the Worthing Philharmonic Orchestra can become a Friend. Many of our Friends have supported us over many years, and their continuing contribution is particularly appreciated.

Why become a Friend?

Worthing Philharmonic Orchestra is self-funding through membership subscriptions, concert income and support from the Friends. We do not receive any support from local authorities. Support from the Friends is therefore vital in enabling us to perform classical music to a high standard.

Benefits

A WPO Friend receives the following benefits:

Newsletters and information updates from the Orchestra
The option of being named in the concert programmes as a Friend
£1 discount on a single ticket for each concert when purchased at the Box Office
Invitations to occasional special functions

How do I become a Friend?

Membership of the Friends is an annually renewable subscription for the October-June concert season.

The suggested contribution is £20 for an individual, a couple or a household, or £40 for a business or commercial enterprise. However, we welcome any contribution from Friends, and these amounts are for guidance only.
