Our success depends on Individual Members, and Corporate and Foundation Support. Support the Toronto Consort and Enjoy the Benefits of Membership Your financial support is vital. Half of our fundraising revenues come from individuals like you, who support the Consort and enjoy the benefits of Membership. We provide our members with a variety of giving opportunities.

Bequests – Making a Gift in your Will A bequest in your Will may specify a certain sum of money, a particular asset, or a portion of the estate to be donated to The Toronto Consort. A bequest is an expression of ongoing commitment to our ensemble and to the legacy of early music. Your gift will help ensure that The Toronto Consort remains financially secure, enabling us to perform and record for generations to come. Does Your Company Match Individual Donations? If you have made an individual donation to the Toronto Consort, the company you work for may match that gift and make its own donation to the Consort. Check with your Human Resources Department to see if your company supports the charitable giving of its employees. Corporate and Foundation Support Corporate and foundation support is essential to the continued success of the Toronto Consort, allowing modern audiences to experience first-hand the remarkable and haunting repertoire of the Middle Ages, Renaissance and early Baroque. Many companies and organizations have supported the Toronto Consort in recent years, including AIM Trimark Investments, the Imperial Oil Foundation, CVRD Inco, Sun Life Financial, the J.P. Bickell Foundation, the Lloyd Carr-Harris Foundation, the George Cedric Metcalfe Foundation, The Catherine and Maxwell Meighen Foundation, the McLean Foundation, le Bureau du Québec, the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Istituto Italiano di Cultura. Many companies have chosen to support the Consort through its Student Education Concerts which enable students to attend special Education Performances at no charge. Students attend introductory performances by the Consort, which enable them to learn about the instruments and music of the Middle Ages, Renaissance and early Baroque periods. These special performances take place in Toronto and surrounding communities. Students are also offered deep discounts to evening concerts. Significant donations allow a corporation or foundation to become a Performance Sponsor. Through the increased exposure of extensive advertising and presence on concert nights, Performance Sponsors reach the sizable Toronto Consort audience, which research confirms is well-educated and has significant disposable income.

“I enjoyed the madrigals, the blend of 5 voices, and the facial expressions which matched the songs.” Student Comments
Toronto Consort Education Program “.. a highly well-balanced and entertaining event. My students were thoroughly engaged, especially by the storytelling aspects, the theatrical nature of the singers and the introduction to the period instruments. It was a useful connection to curriculum about the Renaissance Era, and gave a great hands-on chance to hear/see the instruments at work!” Teacher Comments
