In order to make our concerts, lifelong learning and extensive participatory and education work happen we must raise £150,000 every year from private sources. That the Ensemble continues to flourish is in no small measure down to individuals who contribute to our success by joining us as supporters. Could you be one of them?

Re-defining the string orchestra, the Scottish Ensemble inspires audiences in the UK and beyond with vibrant performances which are powerful, challenging and rewarding experiences. We perform with soloists of the highest international quality, commission new works for the string repertoire, and ensure that audiences have the opportunity to experience first-class live performances of string music in friendly and accessible settings.

We are ambitious and believe that the Ensemble can develop and grow from its strong foundations. By giving to the Ensemble you will become part of our story and enable us to do more. In return, we offer benefits to our supporters that give you the opportunity to see the impact of your gift, and develop a closer relationship with us and our music.
