Great Ways To Support Classical Music

Underwrite A Concert Set
Spotlight your business as a leader in the cultural arts by supporting a specific concert. Both complete and partial underwriting opportunities are available for regular season concerts, so even smaller businesses are able to participate. Make a one-time financial contribution, or strengthen your reputation as an annual concert underwriter.

Example:
Quivira Vineyards and Dry Creek Vineyard consistently provide generous financial support toward the cost of a three-performance set in our regular concert series. According to top management, this underwriting has provided advertising and public relations benefits, and has proven to be a real asset in the recruitment of highly qualified expertise.

Sponsor A Guest Artist
Enhance your business' reputation by affiliating with an accomplished musician or conductor. Both complete and partial underwriting opportunities are available. 

Example: 
Beringer Wine Estates enabled the guest appearance of Yo-Yo Ma with a major donation of financial support and wine. Gratified by the enthusiastic response to their focused presence at the concert, Beringer has pledged continued sponsorship of world-class guest artists in the future. 

Underwrite A Music Education Program
Keep our local youth involved in the musical arts. Our impressive educational program depends on your support of our next generation of classical music enthusiasts. Make a general contribution to this fund, or target your funds to a specific program or scholarship. Programs for senior citizens are also available. Talk to our staff to design an educational sponsorship that's right for your business.

Example: 
Numerous young musicians lack financial resources to nurture their talent. Thanks to a generous individual, several young artists received music tuition scholarships in past years. Our institution-bound seniors, too, fondly recall "Musical Memories" performances courtesy of Wells Fargo Bank. 

Sponsor A Special Concert Or Musical Innovation
Bring classical music to all segments of our community. The future of classical music depends upon broadening our base of both participants and listeners. Whatever your interest or affiliation, we can design an innovative program tailored to appeal to your target audience.

Example:
Sonoma National Bank subsidizes bus transportation for Oakmont and Santa Rosa senior residents to Sunday afternoon Symphony performances. A memorable Saturday afternoon performance of Peter and the Wolf, courtesy of Target and Mervyn's, delighted an audience of 1000 children and parents. The logos for all corporate underwriters are prominently featured in concert programs, advertisements and printed materials. 

 

Sponsor A Radio Broadcast Of A Symphony Performance
Sponsor one of the Symphony's radio broadcasts and tell thousands of listeners that you support the Santa Rosa Symphony. Each Symphony subscription performance is broadcast on local public radio KRCB 90.9 FM/91.1 FM, and also on Marin Cable 95.7. Your $1,500 contribution covers recording, engineering and administrative costs, plus it earns your business an on-air mention after each broadcast.
