Our musicians are the beating heart of the MSO, devoting countless hours to providing music that motivates and inspires.
We invite you to support the music and the orchestra you love while getting to know your favourite player at the same time. Through our Chair Sponsorship program, you can honour their talent, artistry, and life-long commitment to music.
Involvement in the MSO’s Chair Sponsorship program is often far more than building relationships between donors and musicians - it fosters a genuine, reciprocal transfer of knowledge, experience and learning for all involved.
Joining the Chair Sponsorship program enables you to:
- Develop a relationship with a musician of your choice.
- Watch and enjoy the musical career of your musician – many of our players are involved in other projects alongside the MSO.
- Gain a deeper insight into the world of your musician.
- Enjoy relaxed social occasions with your musician, other Chair Sponsors and the MSO family.
- Receive recognition in MSO concert programs and the MSO website.
Becoming a Chair Sponsor is easy
