Benefactors & Friends of WIMF
“Our Benefactors and Friends are the core of the Festival community, not only through their enjoyment as members of the audience, but also for the bedrock of significant financial support that they provide. Outside of the festival, Benefactors and Friends participate in a year-round programme of social and musical events.”
