Donations at or above the Subscriber levels below will automatically be assigned at that Subscription Tier.

A donation of any amount is always appreciated.

Chestnut Street Singers relies on the generosity of individual donors to achieve our mission of offering ticketless concerts that are accessible to a broad community.
Become a Subscriber by making a single, annual contribution to sustain the ensemble through our performance season. 
With your gift, you offer us the assurance and stability to build and plan on a year-long scale, making our organization more attractive to potential grantors.

As our organization matures, so do its wants and needs. Our pursuit of additional revenue over the coming years will allow us to realize some of our bigger goals:

  • Commissioning new compositions for our chorus.

  • Coordinating collaborative concerts with like-minded ensembles.

  • Staging workshops for the development of our singers and conductors.

  • Pursuing special projects in educational outreach or musicological research.


Subscription Tiers

For our 2023–2024 season, all Subscription Tiers will receive a snazzy Subscriber Button and an invitation for you to attend our exclusive Garden Party concert and picnic in June of 2024, giving you a chance to chat with our singers and enjoy some of their renowned potluck cooking. Details to come.

Please support our whole season and come celebrate with us when the weather is warmer!

Wren Subscription — $60

Though small in stature, wrens are instantly recognizable–even on our logo–by their loud and complex melodies.

Nightingale Subscription — $180

Known for their constant song, nightingales have been celebrated by generations of composers.

Crane Subscription — $300

Revered worldwide for their grace and beauty, cranes symbolize hope and good wishes.
