How to help

Patrons, Funders, Friends & Thanks

Cantilena depends on help, whether it's in the form of financial assistance or volunteers distributing posters and providing accommodation during the Festival. The help you give us means that we can continue to bring the pleasure of great music to the people of a wonderful island where such music is rarely heard, and to give a unique opportunity to young music students who benefit greatly from the experience of playing and rehearsing away from their academic pressures.

Become a Cantilena Patron

Cantilena needs funding beyond ticket sales to be able to take our music to Islay. In particular, however, we always give the opportunity to at least five selected students from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland to perform beside our professional players, giving them a unique experience of learning and performing to the highest standards – an experience which is both invaluable to their careers and hard to find elsewhere. The students do not receive any fee, but Cantilena pays for their travel to Islay, accommodation, meals, and of course the personal tuition and direction from our professional players.

To help us take these talented students to Islay, we are offering the opportunity for those wishing to support our work to become a Cantilena Patron. Patrons can donate annually (payments of £100 or £250) or monthly (payments of £10 or £20). Other amounts may be specified if you wish.

Eligible UK taxpayers can also GiftAid e.g. a donation of £100 would be worth £125 to Cantilena.
