Joining the Chair’s Circle allows you to ensure the continuing success of the festival by supporting one of our flagship evening concerts, alongside fellow music-lovers. As part of the Chair’s Circle, headed by Hereford Festival Chair Bruce Herriot, your name will appear on our website and in our brochure and souvenir programme book, and you will also be invited to the spring programme launch and an exclusive pre-concert reception at the festival.

In 2024, the Chair's Circle supported the Three Choirs Festival Youth Choir's performance of Ian Venables' Requiem, Cecila McDowall's Shipping Forecast and a premiere of Jeremy Dibble's arrangement of Stanford's string quartets as a Sonata for String Orchestra.

If you would like more information about joining the Chair’s Circle, please contact Robert Convey. Please note, we do ask for a minimum donation of £300.
