St Michael’s Hospice is HSO’s adopted charity for 2026/27

November 15, 2026

Harrogate Symphony Orchestra has adopted Saint Michael’s Hospice as its charity for the 2026/27 concert season.

Each year, HSO selects a good cause and raises funds for the charity throughout the concert season, through raffle ticket sales at its concerts and events such as the Knaresborough Bed Race. This year, following a consultation with orchestra members, the chosen charity is Saint Michael’s Hospice in Harrogate.

Saint Michael’s Hospice provides expert, compassionate care for local people living with terminal illness, alongside emotional wellbeing support for them and their families. They help people receive the care, comfort and dignity they deserve at the end of life, while supporting those closest to them every step of the way.

HSO is proud to be able to offer support to this local charity, whose good work has been felt by so many people in our area, including several members of the orchestra.
