Sponsor A Chair

NYOS Orchestra

By sponsoring a chair in one of our orchestras, you will be helping to ensure that no young person offered a place on one of our courses misses out due to financial circumstances.

Support from our Chair Sponsors makes a significant contribution towards the cost of taking part in a NYOS programme.

There are two levels of support available; Chair Sponsor from £200 a year or Principal Chair Sponsor from £500 a year. Membership at both levels offers a range of benefits and opportunities to play your part in our work.

Chair Sponsor: From £200 a year*

  • Opportunity to have your chosen name recognised against a chair or instrument in any of our orchestras
  • An invitation to concert receptions
  • Invitations to special events such as rehearsals and behind the scenes events
  • Acknowledgement in concert programmes and online
  • FREE concert programmes
  • Quarterly updates exclusively for sponsors and supporters

Principal Chair Sponsor: from £500 per year*
All Chair Sponsor benefits plus

  • Opportunity to have your chosen name recognised against a principal chair in any of our orchestras
  • Opportunities to hear from the player on the chair you are sponsoring
