Become A Patron of DUPO

Durham University Palatinate Orchestra provides students the invaluable opportunity to play exciting and challenging repertoire in beautiful venues such as Durham Cathedral. DUPO has built a reputation for professional and energetic performances.

As a student-run organisation, we receive no outside funding and rely on the generosity of classical music lovers to stage world-class concerts for everyone to enjoy.

We are incredibly grateful for all gifts that contribute to the ongoing financial stability of DUPO.

Recurring gifts are especially welcome as they allow us to plan for the future.
