How to help us:

Without the generous contributions of music patrons the Cathedral would not be able to offer this ministry of music to the people of Cape Town and those who visit our beautiful city and significant Cathedral. It costs in excess of R75,000 to fund the programme.

Please consider joining the Cathedral Music Patrons and by your efforts help to ensure that the Cathedral continues to offer music to the people of our City.

How to help us
make a designated contribution

You can contribute

• R400 per year, the average cost of one orchestral player at one service

 

• R1000 to support the selection of first-class soloists

 

• R6000 which is roughly the cost of one orchestral mass

 

• You may also consider commemorating a loved one at any of the masses. Please contact the Canon Precentor to discuss this possibility.
