Take a Chair
The Acadiana Symphony Orchestra would like to invite you to support the musicians of your orchestra in a very tangible way.
We offer you an opportunity to help support your favorite instruments for an entire season. Your chair may be named for you or in honor or memory of anyone else you choose.
A chair sponsorship is a unique way to recognize years of concert attendance, to welcome a new family member, to honor the memory of a loved one, or to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or other special occasion.
Chair sponsorships are recognized throughout the concert season on the Acadiana Symphony Website and in concert programs and displayed at all concerts on Chair sponsor boards. All donations are tax deductible.
Chair sponsorship - $500.00
Principal Chair sponsorship - $3500.00
Conductor’s Podium sponsorship - $5000.00
For more information or sponsor a chair, please download our Take a Chair brochure and sign-up form.
