Sponsors

We are very grateful to all sponsors and patrons who have given financial support over the years. Amateur orchestras need resources to help meet production costs, to enable future planning and to help purchase instruments and equipment. The following sponsors in particular have assisted the Nelson Symphony Orchestra in this way:

• Community Trust
• Port Nelson
• Arts Council Nelson
• Creative New Zealand
• Lion Foundation

Businesses and individuals also sponsor the orchestra, providing resources to fund specific projects, commissions, travel and accommodation for visiting artists, recordings, promotion and scholarships.

Please contact Pam Seymour [2] to arrange sponsorship or to make enquiries about becoming a sponsor.

Benefactors

The Nelson Symphony Orchestra is a registered charitable organisation which means that donations of any size are tax free and a great way to help the orchestra.
