Your support matters

​

The Holst Singers has long been recognised as one of Britain’s foremost choirs, bringing audiences the best choral music from England and around the world and championing lesser-known composers through our recordings and performances.

 

After more than 30 years under the brilliant direction of Stephen Layton we continue to look for ways to raise our profile and reach new audiences. In early 2024, with support from a generous donor, we released three short videos - recordings of Purcell’s ‘Hear my Prayer’, Lotti’s ‘Crucifixus’ and Holst’s ‘Nunc Dimittis’.

 

In today’s challenging economic environment, income from invited concerts and ticket sales are insufficient to cover our ongoing costs. Every year we need to raise around £5,000 just to sustain our regular activities, plus additional funds to cover our more ambitious goals, such as:

 

• Delivering exciting annual programmes of concerts including larger projects with orchestra

• Creating more digital content that can engage music lovers across the globe

• Travelling further from London and reach new audiences nationally and internationally

• Supporting early-career choral conductors through masterclasses with Stephen.

 

We are appealing to all those who enjoy listening to the Holst Singers to consider supporting us financially, either by joining our Supporters' Circle or making a donation.
