Maintaining our world-class music is expensive. Fans can choose to give a monthly donation to sustain St Paul’s wonderful choir, organ and music outreach.

For music-loving supporters, music patronage is the best way to support our fantastic choir and musicians, and gain exclusive access to a wide-range of diverse performances.
Our choral tradition is a fundamental part of St Paul’s musical heritage and plays a key role in enriching our worship today. The Cathedral Choir also has an international reputation for excellence, having recently been named as one of the top ten choirs in the world.
Sustaining this world-class standard of music requires an annual investment of £1.7M – and we are ever reliant on fundraising and the generosity of our individual supporters.
If you’re passionate about our music and want to become part of a special community of supporters at St Paul’s, read on about the benefits of becoming a Music Patron.
One of the joys of being a music patron is having a seat under the Dome, being up close to the great singing, being able to see the interaction in the orchestra or between the singers, and really see how the technique and skill produces these marvellous sounds.
