In order to keep the symphony affordable, ticket
prices are set to cover only about 30% of the cost of performances. Even selling
out the entire house at each of our concerts, leaves us needing to raise 70% of
the cost from other sources. Our sponsors and donors are vital to our ability
to operate the Symphony and continue to bring live symphonic music to local audiences.
We cannot thank our supporters enough, as it is their generosity that makes it
possible to sustain and improve the Symphony. Available at the beginning
of 2007, the Symphony commissioned a beautiful donor recognition board. It is
a visually exciting and impressive exhibit that publicly acknowledges our vital
supporters. This donor board will be proudly and prominently displayed at the
Washington Center during Symphony performances as well as at other Symphony events
throughout the season. We are thrilled to be able to recognize businesses who
give over $1000. Concert Sponsorships
The arts play a significant role in the quality of life in any geographic region. National
Public Radio's Susan Stanburg said, "orchestral music is, certainly, the
ultimate form of community." We agree! We urge corporations to join
OSO as a concert sponsor and show support for Olympia's arts and cultural community. Special
Event Sponsorships
In addition to our regular concert series,
Olympia Symphony Orchestra is pleased to present a number of special events throughout
the season—Sing with the Symphony, our annual holiday concert; Celebrate
the Symphony, our annual Symphony Gala; an annual free concert held in a local
outdoor venue and our annual Fashion Show. Each of these events provide
additional sponsorship opportunities. Education
We take the “educate” part of our mission very seriously. The
best way to secure the future of the symphony is to educate and involve a growing
student population. Our program to sponsor junior patrons at our live performances
is essential for the future of our orchestra. This donor driven program needs
your support to continue. For more information about these and other
ways to support your symphony, contact Executive Director, Linda Spain at 360.753.0074
or lspain@olympiasymphony.com.
