Become a Sponsor

Sponsorships

A Musician Chair Sponsorship is a direct way for you to connect your passion and your donation to a specific person in the North State Symphony. Chair Sponsors sometimes choose an instrument they particularly love, a player they know, or a chair recommended by North State Symphony staff. Student players, professional players, principal players, as well as guest artists and our guest conductors can all be selected for sponsorship if available.

For more information about sponsoring a musician’s chair, please contact Stephanie Yunker at (530) 898-5917 or slyunker@csuchico.edu

We feel privileged to sponsor musicians. With our personal financial support, we can show our deep appreciation for their talent , acknowledge their dedication to their profession and, express gratitude for the incredible array of music they share with us.

Lee and Judy Salter

Sponsor of Li-Yuan Ho

Music enriches our lives and feeds our souls. We sponsor so that those who have the talent and passion to perform, can continue to perform for those of us who cannot.

The Chance Whittley Foundation

Sponsor of Tim Koop

The best benefit of the North State Symphony is getting to know the musicians by hosting them in your home. Over the years, we have so enjoyed having David Thorp stay with us. Sponsoring a Musician Chair is a perfect way to honor him for his friendship and his contribution in making the North State Symphony into a wonderful orchestra.
