Sponsor Music

The music for each concert can be very expensive. We count on members of the community to underwrite the costs of each piece. Do you have a favorite composer? Do you like holiday music? Or do you just want to help with the costs of music rental? This is the chance for you to sponsor a piece of music that the MSO will perform in concert. Your name will be printed on the sponsor page and on the main program page. Co-sponsoring is allowed and encouraged.

The sponsorships available through the 2022-2023 season are listed below. Click the link beside each piece to pay with PayPal, or click here for a printable form. (.PDF)
