Corporate Sponsors enable the Aurora Symphony Orchestra to continue playing a key role in Aurora’s quality of life and the education of its children. We have many ways to showcase your philanthropy, and many ways to provide support back to your organization. Have you thought about having a string quartet perform at your company holiday party? Or the ASO Brass Quintet play at your neighborhood picnic?
For more information about how to support the ASO and to leverage your philanthropic giving as a corporate donor or a Corporate Sponsor, please contact Claire Counts, Board Treasurer, at (303) 690-7737 or sponsorship@aurorasymphony.org
Concert Sponsorships
The ASO invites you to sponsor a concert. As you may suspect, ticket revenue only covers a portion of the concert costs we face. By sponsoring a concert, you and your organization help the Aurora Symphony bring the highest caliber music to the area. You may choose concert programs that best represent your corporate identity. You work personally with the ASO President and Treasurer to craft an exclusive benefits package tailored to your business or organization and its particular client needs. Contact us to find out what concerts are currently available for sponsorship.
