Lasting legacy
Leave a gift in your will
It is very easy to leave a gift to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in your will; you can make a gift of a specific sum (Pecuniary Legacy) or leave a percentage of your estate (Residuary Legacy). If you already have a will, it’s very straightforward to add a Codicil (amendment) to include the Orchestra as one of your beneficiaries.

Join the RPO 1946 Club
The RPO 1946 Club is only open to supporters who have arranged to leave a gift to the Orchestra in their will. Membership is free of charge, and as well as being acknowledged in the Orchestra’s concert programmes, club members are invited to a designated RPO ‘legacy’ concert and reception each year.
You are absolutely under no obligation to tell us, but if you have already arranged to leave a gift to the Orchestra in your will, please do let us know so that we can thank you and enrol you as a member of the RPO 1946 Club.

Thank you
to Mrs Joan Constable from the RPO
During her lifetime, Joan Constable became an enthusiastic member of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s community of followers. Joan and her husband Peter were regular attendees of the RPO’s concerts in their home county of Northampton and loved coming to the Orchestra’s Royal Albert Hall concerts on special occasions. They derived so much pleasure from the RPO that, as a way of saying ‘thank you’, Joan arranged to leave a gift to the Orchestra in her will, to help ensure that others can experience the thrill of hearing the RPO live onstage. Joan sadly passed away in 2012, but her legacy has enabled the Orchestra to deliver a series of family concerts and underpin other artistic objectives around the UK.
