Honor a Chair
Chair Sponsorship
The Annual Chair Sponsorship joins orchestra members and patrons to create an even more exceptional concert and giving experience. Whether you have an affinity for a particular instrument or player, you will enjoy the personal connection when your name is associated with a musician’s chair for a whole season!
When you sponsor a chair, role, or ensemble, your name is featured with your sponsored element in the roster, website, and program book. In addition, you get first rights to renew sponsorship of your chair from the previous season. In addition, you get announced at our annual Gala as a sponsor!
