St
Matthew's is a large sought-after venue for music-making
and the performing arts, with a distinguished heritage
of artistic excellence and patronage.
The Friends of St Matthew's Music is an association of
people who wish to help maintain and enhance
music-making here for present and future generations as
well as to enjoy one another's company through a
programme of social and cultural activities.
The main objective of the Friends is to support the
Director
of Music in the fostering and development of
music-making at St Matthew's. This objective may
incorporate financial and social support towards the
work of
the Choir and to music events held at St Matthew's both
choral and instrumental, as well as contributing to
provisions relating to the music. The Friends also
contribute positively to scholarships and educational
courses in addition to the Choir's cathedral visits and
social outings.
In order for the music at St Matthew's to continue to
thrive and to ensure the future security of the Choir
and tradition which has been built up over a period of
more than one hundred years we need your support.
Membership
Support of the music through the Friends is given by
members in regular payment of subscriptions and, for
some, by joining in the life and worship of the Church
community. While many members live locally there are
others further afield who simply enjoy receiving
information about the music of the Church, its mission,
development and role within the community.
Membership is open to anyone, and as a Friend you will:
