Our Friends of the RSO scheme allows you to support the orchestra and enjoy our principal concerts at a reduced price. Benefits include:
  • Tickets to four RSO concerts (November, February, April and June) for less than the price of three;
  • A generous discount for our Reading Sinfonietta chamber concert in the summer;

This year, becoming a Friend costs a minimum of £36 (£29 for concessions) saving you 15% on the full price.
