SUPPORT THE NCEM

Become a Patron

Patrons play a vital role in helping the National Centre for Early Music thrive. Your support enables us to present world-class performances, nurture the next generation of artists, and continue delivering high-quality education and outreach across York and beyond.

  • As a Patron, you’ll enjoy a closer relationship with the NCEM, with opportunities to meet artists, attend special events, and see first-hand the impact of your generosity.
  • By joining our family of Patrons, you’re helping to safeguard the future of early music — while enjoying a deeper connection with the music you love.

The sense of community amongst NCEM Patrons is strong. You’re never on your own- you will always find someone with a similar interest, with whom you can enjoy a concert.

Tax Efficient Giving

If you’re a UK taxpayer, the NCEM will be able to increase the value of your donation by up to 25% through Gift Aid. And donating can benefit you too – as well as receiving priority booking, reserved seating and exclusive invitations - a donation to the NCEM can also reduce your tax liability.

The NCEM continues to deliver the unexpected.  It gives me great joy that my patrons membership helps them continue to do this.
