THE AMBASSADORS (from £50,000 p.a.)
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 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.
