Sponsorship Opportunities
TThe Knoxville Symphony Orchestra is proud to be the oldest continuously performing orchestra in the Southeast--a vital component of the tapestry that makes Knoxville a wonderfully special and distinctive place in which to live and work. For more than 75-years live symphonic music has been one of the good things about life in Knoxville. Sponsorship support of the KSO accounts for 10% of our overall budget and 35% of our annual fundraising campaign. Sponsorships can be customized to fit a company’s needs or an individual’s desires to recognize or honor a colleague or loved one. Sponsorship support of the KSO ensures a solid foundation for our Orchestra into the next 75-years.
Sponsorships are available for a wide range of concerts and programs throughout the KSO season. Sponsorship packages can be customized to offer you an excellent return on investment at a variety of giving levels.
