Our Friends, Sponsors and Advertisers play a vital role in enabling us to bring top quality performances and music to our local community, in helping share the joy of singing with free community events, in supporting free membership for 18-30 years olds and in providing bursaries for our Youth Choirs.

Our Friends, sponsors and advertisers helped us celebrate our special 50th Anniversary in 2023 with the world premiere of a new composition specially commissioned by Henley Choral Society from internationally renowned British composer, Cecilia McDowall, and the very first Henley Big Sing, our free community singing event.

Friends, sponsors and advertisers play a vital role in helping Henley Choral Society to:

  • offer free membership to students
  • deliver ambitious performances
  • support young and talented musicians
  • bring professional musical talent to Henley and the community
  • share the joy of choral music with a wider audience

Sponsors 

We are a vibrant and enthusiastic charity, with a growing profile in our local community. Previous and current sponsors have played an important role in sharing our work with wider audiences and bringing top musical talent to play and sing in and around Henley.

We are particularly interested in working with sponsors who want to support our work with children, young people and male singers.

If you have some great ideas for sponsorship, please get in touch with the current Chair.

We welcome advertisements for our concert programmes. Programmes are produced for each of our three concerts per year. Each programme – and your advert – will be seen by 300-400 discerning and influential readers in the local area. Advertising with Henley Choral Society could strike just the right chord with your target audience.
