The London Handel Festival is about enriching lives through Handel and his incredible musical legacy. We do this through our critically acclaimed 3-week Festival each Spring featuring world-class artists and innovative performances from emerging ensembles and talented young musicians. Our programme continues during the rest of the year with an Autumn series of concerts and our growing learning and participation programme.
Please consider supporting us to become the most engaging, innovative and accessible Handel Festival around. We rely on the support of donors, grants and gifts to achieve our ambitions as we receive no regular public subsidy.
Annual membership options start from as little as £40 per year with higher levels for supporters who wish to donate more and become more involved in our work.
All members have the benefit of priority booking, invitations to members-only events such as our 2024 Festival Launch, and members at higher tiers have a range of opportunities to meet musicians, tour backstage, attend rehearsals and regularly meet the Festival Director.
