Sponsorships

Because every gift makes a difference.

Because ticket sales cover less than a third of the cost of the Rochester Symphony Orchestra’s concerts, the RSO depends upon sponsorships from businesses and individuals throughout the community. Sponsorships are available to fit a wide variety of needs and budgets.

Just a few of the sponsorship opportunities are listed below. For more information please email Rita May or call 248-652-9154.

Performance Partners Annual Fund Campaign

Every gift tells a story when each and every donor, musician, ticket holder and student who benefits from RSO programming also has a unique story to share. Stories of gratitude, inspiration and purpose. But without your Performance Partner support those stories could end… What’s your story?

Your Performance Partner Annual Fund gift makes all stories possible.

The Performance Partners Annual Fund is the RSO’s Top giving priority. Since the proceeds directly support day to day operation of the RSO, the gap between ticket sales and expenses is cleared. When you become a Performance Partner you put music in the community. We need your financial support to keep the music playing each and every year. Please donate today so the stories continue!! You can also visit the Rochester Symphony Guild Tab to view the list of Festival of Parties events. These events celebrate the RSO as well as provide a wide variety of social events throughout the season.
