The goals of our patronage system are to:

• somewhat reduce our substantial dependency on donor funding;
• create a financial buffer so that we may occasionally grasp performance opportunities that we couldn’t otherwise budget for;
• create a financial buffer to supplement funds for and create negotiating room with arts festivals, where we achieve great visibility (arts festival organisers only ever cover costs partially);
• provide loyal supporters a platform from which to support the worthy cause of providing work for many of our freelance singers and instrumentalists;
• provide loyal supporters a platform from which to help us grow our audience; and
• to provide exclusive benefits to you, our patrons, so as to foster and nurture closer relationships between us and you.
