Finchley Chamber Choir is a charity, and our work is funded from members’ subscriptions, concert receipts and donations. FCC’s long and successful 50-year history would not have been possible without the assistance of our patrons, whose financial support over the years has enabled us to extend our repertoire, sponsor new music and hire instruments. As the choir looks forward to the next 50 years, we are looking for help with a variety of projects, including:
Running workshops to develop our singers’ vocal and performance skills
Building our music library
Exploring opportunities to collaborate with other arts organisations in North London
Promoting the work of the choir to broaden our audience in North London
From September 2025, we are relaunching our patrons’ scheme in order to build a closer relationship between the choir and our supporters, and to keep our patrons better informed about the choir’s work and plans.
