Sponsor a Chair Initiative!

While rehearsing for our next two performances – a Variety Concert in Sasolburg at the Etienne Rossouw Theatre on 23rd August and our Picnic Concert at the Domus Dei Randburg Suid Church Grounds on 6th September – the Rand Symphony Orchestra is trialling a new initiative to offset some of the expenses of presenting concerts. As you are probably aware, concerts cost a large amount to put on: buying or renting music, venue hire, Conductor’s fees, Soloists’ fees and Concert Master’s fees. As we are a voluntary organisation we rely heavily on donations and membership fees.

We are inviting our supporters to sponsor a ‘chair’ in the orchestra for R1500 per concert. This would be a once-off donation. The money would go towards paying any extra players needed for the concert. Your name or business name would appear in our programme, highlighting to which position you have contributed.

If you are feeling very generous, we are also looking for sponsors for our professional soloists who perform with us. Here donations would need to be between R5000 and R10 000.

If a ‘chair’ sponsorship is too large an amount, rest assured no donation is too small. If you would like to support us in any way please email chair@randsymphony.co.za for queries regarding donations and sponsorships.

The Rand Symphony Orchestra has PBO Status with SARS and is able to issue 18A Tax Certificates to donors above a certain threshold
