Chair Sponsorship

You can enjoy a personal commitment to your favourite instrument, or perhaps give a gift to a music-loving friend, through sponsoring a chair. At the same time, you can help support the UK’s only national youth organisation providing musical education in both classical and jazz.
For as little as £200 annually, you can feel part of a NYOS orchestra. Annual student membership of NYOS can cost up to £2,700. With your help, we can give young musicians the chance to benefit from a NYOS education and experience.
Benefits of Chair Sponsorship include:
- Invitation to all interval receptions
- Annual Season Brochure and quarterly newsletter
- Invitation to the annual NYOS Chair Sponsors’ party
- Preview of following season
- The chance to meet the student on your chair*
- The chance to attend behind-the-scenes events and occasional rehearsals*
- Acknowledgement in NYOS concert programmes and on the NYOS website
*depending on level of giving
Sponsor a named chair in the Symphony or Jazz Orchestra from £500
