The AAM Society

The AAM Society is the Academy of Ancient Music’s core group of regular supporters.  Society members’ annual gifts provide vital ongoing funding which enables the orchestra to continue to perform.

Members enjoy a close and ongoing involvement with the life of the band: they dine with the director, soloists and musicians after performances in London; they receive regular invitations to open rehearsals, private recitals in fellow Society members’ homes and other special events; and at least once each year they are invited to travel with the orchestra on an international tour.

Membership is paid either annually or by quarterly or monthly standing order, and the membership levels are as follows.
