PATRONS
& FRIENDS
OF THE NCEM
As our EEEmerging programme comes to an end, the NCEM supports an ever-increasing number of UK based early music professionals who need time, space and recording opportunities to hone their skills as an ensemble negotiating their pathway from conservatoire to public stage.
Join us as an NCEM Patron and help ensure that we keep this hard-earned legacy alive into the future.
