We are proud many GCU performances are self-promoted. We would be thrilled if you felt able to play a supporting role in our future. We are grateful to all those generous people who support our activities.
GCU aims to:
Promote 4 high-quality performances of adventurous choral works in London’s major venues.
Broaden the musical experience of members and audiences via workshops and open rehearsals.
Support young musicians by bringing forward exciting young artists, maintaining links with music colleges, and recruiting young members, with special arrangements for students.
We generate as much of our income as possible from concert-ticket sales, members’ subscriptions, and the sale of advertising space in concert programmes. We often collaborate with other choirs.
We have worked with many UK charities. Sponsorship by BT allowed the choir to help other charities, such as the Children’s Society, Crisis and Help the Aged. Elizabeth Fitzroy Homes, the Jacqueline Du Pré Memorial Fund, the Lily Foundation, Save the Children and the British Red Cross have benefited from GCU’s performances.
