Section and Chair Sponsorships

An orchestra is nothing without its hardworking musicians. As the North Shore’s professional orchestra, we want to attract and retain the best. You can cover the cost of a player for a full season of concerts in a section sponsorship or chair sponsorship, choosing to support a particular player or an instrument that is special to you.

Chair Sponsorship Levels:
Maestro – $25,000 per season – 10 chairs
Quattro – $10,000 per season – 4 chairs
Bravi – $5,000 per season – 2 chairs
Tutti – $2,500 per season – 1 chair

Maestro and Quattro supporters receive a complimentary pair of season tickets. Email info@northbrooksymphony.org or call (847) 272-0755 to discuss your sponsorship.
