The Oxford University Orchestra provides an opportunity for the University’s top musicians to play challenging and exciting repertoire with a variety of exceptional professional conductors and soloists. For only a small donation you could help support us in this activity. Ticket sales alone are unable to cover the cost of any concert so it is thanks to the generous support of the University’s Music Faculty, corporate sponsors, and people like you that we are able to continue to put on the ambitious concerts the orchestra is famous for. In the current financial climate, as corporate sponsorship becomes increasingly difficult to acquire, we rely ever more on your donations. Click one of the buttons below to join the friends’ scheme or scroll down to learn more about it. We are incredibly grateful for all gifts and recurring gifts in particular contribute massively to the ongoing financial stability of OUO.
Supporting OUO doesn't have to be financial, if you are interested in supporting the orchestra in other ways, please fill in the form below and we will get in touch with you.
