Corporate Giving & Sponsorship

For organizations that invest in live orchestral music, it pays substantial dividends in civic pride, cultural advancement, education and personal satisfaction.

Corporate Sponsorship

Our goal is to create a sponsorship package that is tailor-made to serve your corporate goals. Your company can choose to sponsor an individual performance, a full series, a special concert, education programs, or become an exclusive Season Sponsor. For detailed information on the RMSO’s Sponsorship Program which includes publicity, advertising, complimentary tickets and an opportunity to entertain your guests.
