Become a patron
An orchestral performance is not just a technical feat, but an artistic feat of leadership. One of the most impactful ways you can directly contribute is by sponsoring the Conductor & Musical Director or Concertmaster positions:
Conductor & Musical Director
Practically every aspect of a performance is architected by our Conductor & Musical Director. Every year, programmes are crafted to fit cohesively within a theme, leading rehearsals while bringing a wealth of technical ability, historical insight, artistic leadership, and carrying the responsibility of bringing a performance to its conclusion.
Concertmaster
The concertmaster is not just the leader of the violin section, but ultimately the leader of the orchestra, who transforms the art into reality: leading the charge in a scherzo, taking the first step in a trio, before reaching the finale in victorious triumph.
These are the most important positions in the orchestra, and your sponsorship would ensure continued high quality performances for the benefit of the community. We aim to honour our generous patrons by publishing names in our programmes.
If you are interested in becoming a patron, please email us at TheBalmainSinfonia@gmail.com, and we would be delighted to discuss.
