Supporter Promise
Our promise to you
The Philharmonia Orchestra is a registered charity No. 250277.
Our vision is that the Philharmonia Orchestra – both live and digitally – will have a transformative impact on the widest possible audience.
We rely on the generosity and support of private individuals like you through purchasing tickets, making donations, becoming a Friend of the Philharmonia or becoming a Conductors’ Circle member, to make this vision a reality.
You, our loyal audience members and supporters, are at the heart of the Philharmonia Orchestra. Every donation we receive, regardless of how big or small, makes a difference.
Without your support, every aspect of the Philharmonia’s works would be diminished beyond recognition.
Our Supporter Promise will tell you about how we work and what you can expect when you support us. Our aim is to communicate with you in an open and transparent way that makes you want to stay involved with us for as long as possible, as you see the value and impact of your support.
