Thank You For Your Donation
Thank you for your donation
For over 35 years our summer festival has brought the world’s finest musicians to the Lake District and supported the next generation of exciting young artists.
But we couldn’t have done it without the generosity of our supporters.
As a charity we rely on the support of donors, sponsors, charitable trusts, foundations and Patrons of LDSM. This support means we can fill the area with wondrous music and provide the platform future artists so desperately need to launch their careers.
From all of us at Lake District Summer Music and the many musicians who have benefitted from support, thank you to all those that share our vision and have helped us along our journey.


Leave a legacy in your Will
Imagine the difference leaving a gift in your Will or making a gift in memoriam of a loved one could make. You can help secure the future of our festival and ensure that promising young artists will still be able to receive high-calibre tuition from masterclasses and performance opportunities to help kickstart their professional careers.
Donations in memory of a loved one
Rather than sending flowers, many friends and families ask that donations in memory of a loved one are sent to a charity that he or she supported during their lifetime. This can be a really special and personal way of remembering someone through a cause they loved.
