Support the Festival

Support us

The festival has always been, and will remain, all about championing and supporting the work of today’s composers, who continue to inspire, intrigue and dazzle us with their fantastic creativity and artistic urge to find new ways of interpreting the 20th and 21st century through their music.

We want to keep programming wonderful events and supporting the most extraordinary composers, but we can only do this with your help. Whether it is time, or a donation you can contribute – big or small – helping us however you can will make a vital impact in securing the festival’s future.

Email us at producer@valeofglamorganfestival.org.uk to find out more about opportunities to support your festival.

Volunteering

Would you like to be part of the festival team? We need help spreading the word about the festival, stewarding events, selling raffle tickets and technical support.

Festival Donation

(from £1+ contribution)

The festival has huge aims but a tiny budget. Any donation, no matter what size, truly makes a huge difference to the festival and the events we can run. Consider donating on our Givey page.

Festival Friend

(from £30 single/ £50 household + contribution)

Support from our amazing Friends this year has been a lifeline in helping us to continue through times of great financial challenge to confirm VOGF 2022. Become a Friend/renew your annual friendship and help us to continue into 2023 whilst enjoying priority information and special crediting.

Exceptional Support

Festival Patrons (from £250)

Provide exceptional support and make exceptional things happen. The restrictions over the last two years and their repercussions have made the festival’s future uncertain. Help us to put the festival back onto a firm financial footing by becoming a Festival Patron and enjoy exclusive insight events. Your support has the power to transform composers’ lives and music development in Wales.

Festival Futures Fund

Help to give the most talented new composers, and wonderful Welsh music, a future. Funding for new composers’ work is rare. Individuals showing extraordinary artistic talent have limited opportunity to develop new music masterpieces.  By enabling new work you will not only be igniting a new composer’s future, you will also have a permanent special association with the music.

The creation of new music makes an unforgettable and life-long gift.  We can help you mark a special anniversary or celebration by arranging a private premiere of your commission in a beautiful venue, unveiling music you will always be part of.

Contact the VOGF Artistic Director, John Metcalf, on artisticdirector@valeofglamorganfestival.org.uk if you would like to find out more about private commissioning opportunities.
