Sponsor a soloist in Paragon's 50th year

Aim

Help support outstanding singers and instrumentalists for our 50th anniversary concerts

Sponsor a soloist

This year we’re celebrating 50 years of Paragon Singers with a series of special projects, including performances of a new production, Purcell’s Lament, and Bach’s incredible Mass in B minor.

These works will bring together our choir with a wonderful group of professional period instrumentalists and singers, including both established performers and talented musicians at the start of their professional journeys.

Through this crowdfunder, we’re inviting our you, our audiences and supporters to help make these collaborations possible and ensure the musicians involved are fairly paid and given opportunities to flourish.

Supporting musicians

Performing new and large-scale works like these is an important opportunity for singers and instrumentalists building their professional careers. By supporting this project, you’ll help us:

• engage outstanding professional musicians
• create valuable opportunities for emerging performers
• ensure artists are fairly paid for rehearsals and performances
• bring these extraordinary works to life at the highest level for our audiences

The difference your donations will make

Every contribution helps make these performances possible and supports the musicians who bring them to life. Any support you can give would be truly appreciated in our most ambitious season to date.

If you’re able to contribute, you’ll be helping us celebrate 50 years of Paragon Singers while supporting the artists who will shape the future of live music.
