Sponsorship and Giving Opportunities at the WSO
Music Underwriting ($150 - $1500)

Post Concert Receptions ($750)
Following the February concert each season that features the winners of the annual
Richard R. Deas Student Concerto Competition, the Wilmington Symphony hosts a
private reception for donors and orchestra musicians. Approximately one hundred
people usually attend this catered event at the Madeline Suite on the UNCW campus.
Sponsors will receive special recognition on the invitations to the reception, plus
concert tickets and passes to the reception.
Concert Sponsor ($3,000)
Concert sponsors receive 16 concert tickets, reserved parking passes, a full-page
acknowledgement in the concert programs and recognition in pre-concert press
releases, advertisements and other promotion materials.
Artist-In-Residence Program (Price varies depending on artist.)
During the week-long artist-in-residence program, the WSO engages an accomplished
performing artist for a series of recital appearances. The artist appears at public and
private schools, civic clubs and music schools and concludes the week in a solo
performance with the Wilmington Symphony. This is one of our largest educational
outreach programs of the season. In total, nearly 1,000 schoolchildren and adults
participate in the residency program each year.
The Artist-In-Residence Sponsor is invited to attend any or all residency activities
planned for the week. In addition, the sponsor receives tickets to the concert. The
sponsor's name will be printed on all materials distributed during each residency event
and in all press releases for residency activities. The sponsor will also be recognized
on the season brochure, concert programs throughout the season and a concert
advertisement.
Annual Fund
