Helping the Chorus reach new heights
Be the heartbeat behind the music. Your Support, Our Song.
🎶 Be part of the harmony. Be part of The Great Achord. 💙
Whether you’ve sung with us, supported us from the audience, or simply love the sound of harmony — The Great Western Chorus of Bristol invites you to join The Great Achord, our brand-new supporters’ programme.
It’s a way for former members, friends, and music lovers to stay connected and help us continue doing what we love most: making music, inspiring audiences, and representing Bristol and the UK on every stage.
Your support helps keep harmony alive — from rehearsals and coaching to the thrill of competition and performance.
Great Voices. Great Support. Great Achord.
Music has the power to inspire, uplift, and connect people — and with your support, the Great Western Chorus can continue to share that joy with audiences across Bristol and beyond.
By joining The Great Achord, our Patron Scheme, you’ll not only be helping us create world-class harmony, but you’ll also become part of the GWC family. Patrons enjoy exclusive benefits, from free concert tickets, prize draw entries, merchandise vouchers and invitations to our special events.
Most importantly, you’ll know that your contribution directly supports live performance, musical excellence, and the growth of a thriving community of singers. By joining as a Patron, you play a vital role in the success of The Great Western Chorus of Bristol. In this age of ever increasing costs your support helps us cover essential expenses such as music, rehearsal space, coaching, and performances. Crucially, it also contributes towards enabling the Chorus to once again achieve the objective of representing the UK at a future Barbershop Harmony Society International Convention — showcasing Bristol and British barbershop singing on a world stage.
Being a Patron isn’t just about giving — it’s about belonging. It’s about standing proudly alongside one of the UK’s most celebrated male-voiced choirs, helping us to reach new heights while enjoying unique rewards in return.
Your voice matters — even if you don’t sing! Become a Patron today - keep the music alive.
