Support us
We have ambitious plans to develop Scherzo Ensemble into a highly respected bridge between graduating from full-time study and enjoying a sustainable career. We want to help those from who have taken alternative pathways into the arts, particularly from working class backgrounds. We want to develop our season to allow singers to organise their own projects, with our help, preparing them for an industry where, increasingly, an entrepreneurial approach is what is needed. We want to develop Longhope Opera into a festival with more operas and chamber music performances
Much like the musicians we support, we are at a crucial stage in our development. As the charity and workload grows, we need to recruit staff and need reliable sources of income to do so.
There are many ways to support Scherzo Ensemble. One-off donors, partners and sponsors, and especially our Scherzo Patrons all play a vital role in our ability to expand our operation to support emerging artists.

Scherzo Patrons
To become a patron of Scherzo Ensemble we ask for donations from £1000 a year. Once a patron you can enjoy free tickets to all our performances, have a say in the repertoire we perform, and receive an invitation to an annual Patron's event.

Corporate Sponsorship
