Sponsorship Opportunities
Through classics, pops, and chamber music, music lovers new and old have the opportunity to experience world class orchestra and chamber ensemble performances. Children are exposed to the Orchestra through a series for the family, the Adopt-A-School Program, and youth education concerts. And free summer concerts throughout Central and Northern New York bring thousands of people together to enjoy the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra.
Support from businesses, foundations, and individuals is critical to the success of the Orchestra and helps bridge the gap between what is earned and what it takes to keep the Orchestra playing. When corporations and businesses invest in the Orchestra, they enhance their image in the community, promote their products and services, and sustain the quality of life of their customers and employees. As a supporter of the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra, you can receive event recognition, positive publicity, complimentary tickets to concerts and events, invitations to receptions, and many other benefits. With your support, the SSO will continue to bring world class music to you and the Central and Northern New York communities.
Sponsorship benefits may be customized to meet the different needs of our corporate sponsors. We are happy to provide personal assistance in designing a promotional package that best suits the objectives of and gives maximum recognition to our sponsors.
