The Academy of St Martin in the Fields is built around two groups of wonderful people: our players, who are the Academy, and our supporters, who facilitate all that our musicians do. People support the Academy in many ways, at many levels, but all of our donors enjoy the opportunity to engage more closely with the orchestra and its musicians, building new friendships, attending exclusive events and gaining a special insight behind the scenes of the country’s finest chamber orchestra.

Academy Ambassadors
- £50,000 and upwards
Our Ambassadors are the lifeblood of the Academy. They support us, with enormous generosity, year in and year out. However, their commitment far exceeds the financial, hosting concerts and receptions internationally, spreading the word about our work and commitment to excellence, making introductions and engaging potential promoters, partners and supporters across the world. This group of individuals have all made long-term commitments to our work and we are enormously grateful for all that they do.
Academy Ambassadors enjoy a close partnership with the Academy, our Music Director, guest artists, musicians, Board of Trustees and staff. They engage in strategic discussions, artistic planning and share our ambition for the Academy to grow in ambition and stature over the coming decade.
