Leave a Legacy
After providing for your loved ones, would you consider leaving a gift in your will to the NCEM? Leaving a legacy to the NCEM ensures that we can continue the work that you’ve so enjoyed, enabling us to inspire, educate, and enrich lives for generations to come.
Recent legacies from long-term supporters have made a significant impact on the development of the NCEM and the many musicians that we work with. Whether it’s supporting young musicians or enabling future festivals and education projects, your legacy can be a powerful and lasting act of generosity.
The NCEM is a great community facility as well as an international platform for early music specialists. My gift will help ensure the charity can continue to support a whole range of talented musicians locally and nationally – young, and not so young.

Why Leave a Legacy?
Protect the future of music you love.
- Support young artists and early music education
- Preserve York’s musical heritage and NCEM’s Grade I listed home
- Leave a tax-efficient gift that reduces the inheritance tax on your estate
A Simple Way to Give
Leaving a gift in your will is straightforward — even a small amount can make a big difference. You can choose to leave:
- A fixed amount
- A percentage of your estate
- A residual gift after other priorities are taken care of
Supporters who have made a difference
Trevor and Emma Woolston’s generous legacy helped ensure that the winners of the International Young Artist Competition were well supported on their musical journey
NCEM Patron Nick Ninnim’s legacy provided the seed funding for the New Generation Baroque Ensemble partnership between NCEM, the Royal College of Music and BBC Radio 3
The legacy received from the estate of our long-term audience member Mike Allen is funding our young artists development programmes
The NCEM has been named in my will for many years. It has given me great joy, intellectual satisfaction, fun and friendship over several decades.
