    Fee schedule: 

    The Coventry City of Culture Orchestra charge an annual membership fee. Recognising that not everyone is able to pay up-front, so there is also an option to pay in monthly instalments. This does require a little more administration time and card processing fees, so this will be slightly more expensive overall so that it works out at the same input to the Orchestra. Annual fees will be due on the 1st September so we can accurately budget for the coming year. Monthly payments will be due on the first of every month, starting in September. 

    Payment of fees: 

    We can accept bank transfers or card payments for the annual payment, but it will have to be card or PayPal payments only if on the monthly schedule. Up-front payments are obviously more convenient from a budgeting and cash flow perspective, but we are trying to remove as many barriers to membership in this regard. 

    Annual fees are made payable by bank transfer or card/apple pay/google pay by booking a 'ticket' to the term on this page. (This was the most effective way to process card payments on the website!)

    Any card payment also incurs a processing charge which is calculated per transaction. 

    The £10 surcharge for new members covers the cost of the embroidered polo shirt for performances which is yours to keep!

    Further information:
    We accept new members before each term starts. The first thing to do is register your interest by completing the 'get involved' form, which is here. This gives us all of the information we need to get the ball rolling, and includes the membership agreement and safeguarding policy, which you must complete. 

    We prefer to accept new members before each term as this makes many administration tasks simpler...but do get in touch and we'll see what we can do.  With some small practical exceptions we believe the more, the merrier!
