Could you be a friend? Three ways you could be a friend of music to Halifax : • Sponsor one of the recitals for only £50, maybe in memory of a loved one or a special anniversary . • For only £12 a year join our growing group of music loving people and receive a regular newsletter. • Become a volunteer on recital day or other times at the Minster.

How do we spend your donations? We have 2 choirs which are both self funding, your donations would enable us to develop the music at the Minster ensuring the rich musical tradition is continued for future generations.

We are actively recruiting from local schools with children from many different backgrounds, offering them theory and piano lessons which help them develop their love of music which shows in the way which they sing.
