Become a Patron
Our Patrons and members of the Jane Anthony Circle are central to the success of Leeds Song. Your leadership and generosity make possible the extraordinary artistic quality and educational reach of our work.
Our Patrons and Jane Anthony Circle supporters underpin the very heart of what we do: bringing the finest singers and pianists to Leeds, commissioning new works, and sustaining our education and outreach programme. By giving at this level, you help us to secure the festival’s future and extend its impact for years to come.
In return, you are welcomed into a closer relationship with Leeds Song, enjoying invitations to exclusive events, opportunities to meet artists, and behind-the-scenes insights into our work.
