Musician Sponsorship
Special thank you to the 2019-2020 Musician Sponsors. The Musician Sponsors support helped make it possible to have extremely high-quality musicians perform with the Newport Symphony.
Being a Musician Sponsor is a great way to get to better know the members of the Orchestra. Sponsors are contacted by their musician shortly after their sponsorship has been established. Musician Sponsors are also invited to have lunch with musicians at a special rehearsal luncheon.
Please consider starting in the fall to sponsor one, or more, of our musicians. The donation of $800 for principal chair and/or $500 for section chair sponsorship can be split between you and a friend. Both will be listed in our program inserts and invited to come to the sponsor's luncheon to meet your sponsored musician.
