Inspired by the great pianist Arthur Rubinstein, the Circle’s members, in true Wigmore spirit, support established artists of world renown, as well as young musicians whose burgeoning careers represent the very best in emerging talent.
Their support has never been more valuable, and we are grateful to all members, both longstanding and those who have chosen to join as a way of supporting the Hall and our community of artists in this time of need.
Joining the Rubinstein Circle will bring you more closely into the Wigmore family; our members are providing essential funding for our programming over this difficult period, helping us ensure that artists are able to work once more, and be paid a full fee.
Whilst we cannot offer our usual range of benefits for the time-being, you will be offering vital investment in our concert series and our regular, acclaimed broadcasts which are being viewed across the world by millions of people. Thanks to all our donors, we are ensuring that as many people as possible can experience the joy of live music making, for free.
We are grateful to all our members and we are open to new applications – please do get in touch with us.
*Please note, we hope to reinstate these benefits once normal operations resume.*
Each member receives the highest level of care from dedicated staff, and membership provides:
Membership of the Rubinstein Circle stands at £2,600 a year of which £400 covers the cost of the benefits, and £2,200 is a suggested minimum donation.
