Concert Sponsorship
Your clients see your corporate logo on the digital marquee outside before they enter, and on 42" plasma screens spread throughout Jones Hall. A private champagne reception awaits in the Greenroom before a spectacular performance by the premier performing arts institution in the city. After the concert, a backstage tour and a view from the director's podium. The clients are impressed: not a bad way to spend a Friday night!
The scenario above illustrates just one possibility: from a single concert to an entire series, corporations participate in many levels of concert sponsorship. In terms of corporate exposure there are few arts organizations that have the patron demographic and consistent weekly attendance of the Houston Symphony. With multiple levels and avenues of corporate recognition your target market will know you support the arts in Houston.
In addition, there are many opportunities for onsite entertaining. In the past year the Symphony has accommodated multiple receptions for over 100 - many for financial services firms entertaining their clients - all the way to an intimate champagne reception for a company's ten-year anniversary. Depending on the size of your reception we can host you in our VIP Greenroom, the expansive Jones Hall Balcony, or even backstage after the performance!
