Sponsor A Musician
Create a Connection
Your Augusta Symphony musicians are among the finest in the region. They spend countless hours preparing and rehearsing to make local symphonic music accessible, affordable, and exciting for all ages. By sponsoring a Symphony musician, you not only recognize their artistic skill but also the indispensable role they play in education and in the cultural life of our city. Musician Chair Sponsorship can be named for you, your family, or to honor someone dear to you. It is a great way to celebrate and give the lasting gift of music.
Giving Levels
Assistant Concertmaster
Chair Sponsorship – $3,000
The assistant concertmaster sits immediately behind the concertmaster and assists in leading the orchestra from within.
Principal Chair
Sponsorship – $2,500
The principal is the leader of the section. Principal string players decide on bowings for their section and other principal players assign parts and perform the solos for that particular section.
Section Musician Chair
Sponsorship – $1,500
Most musicians in the orchestra are members of a section: strings, woodwinds, brass, or percussion. These musicians must focus and work together to play as a cohesive ensemble.
Meet the Maestro
The Meet the Maestro event from the 2022-2023 season, where musicians, sponsors, and staff celebrate the upcoming Symphony season.
