FRIENDS MEMBERSHIP SCHEME
Friends of Eye Bach Choirs - supporting the tradition of great choral music in Suffolk.
Become part of our circle and help us inspire others through music
Joining the Friends of Eye Bach Choir scheme is a wonderful way to support one of Suffolk’s most respected musical ensembles and to become part of a community united by a passion for high-quality choral performance.
For more than half a century, Eye Bach Choir has brought singers and audiences together in a shared love of exceptional choral music — from the timeless works of J.S. Bach to today’s contemporary repertoire. Our Friends play a vital role in sustaining this tradition and enabling the Choir to look confidently to the future.
Becoming a Friend is an opportunity to support our concerts, musicians and educational work, while enjoying special privileges and closer connection with the Choir.
