LEGACIES
Thank you for thinking of leaving a gift to Britten Sinfonia in your will.
Once you have looked after your loved ones, leaving a Legacy gift to charity can have a real and lasting impact.
Gifts have played a crucial role in the orchestra’s ability to remain resilient in times of financial challenges. When you leave a gift in your will to Britten Sinfonia, you ensure that we can bring our unique brand of music-making to future generations of audiences, and the thousands of children, emerging musicians and members of local communities who benefit from our Learning & Participation programmes every year.
“My father loved music; he loved excellence and he particularly loved new things. We were more than delighted that he left a legacy to Britten Sinfonia - which embodied his loves and which he thoroughly enjoyed over many years - to help it, in a modest way, to continue to thrive and grow.”
