Education Programme Sponsorship

The main goal of our education programme is to inspire, encourage and educate people of all ages in the enjoyment of music. To continue to expand our programme nationwide, we urgently need to commit greater resources to this important part of NZSO activity.

“There is a massive amount of musical aptitude in New Zealand communities, regardless of whether they are urban or rural, high or low decile. Regrettably, our school system does not currently have the resources to empower that talent. That is where the NZSO’s education programme – and, in particular, broad family-based events like the Melvin Tix tour – can help. Opening up the world of music to young people brings rewards that go beyond the enjoyment of musical performance. Studies have shown that children who discover their own musical talent have increased self esteem and, as a consequence, achieve more in other areas of learning”. – Peter Walls, Chief Executive Officer, New Zealand Symphony Orchestra

As corporates have long realised, investing in the communities where their employees and customers live and work makes good business sense and the NZSO is serious about investing in the future of our community too. Through our passion for music, we bring a breadth of learning and enrichment to the lives of people of all ages, experiences and backgrounds.

Our Education team and many of our players work with a wide range of people of all ages, socio-economic backgrounds, and ethnicity.

It’s our business to understand yours… The NZSO can help companies deliver elements of their CSR strategy, through support of our Education and Outreach work.

Our many education sponsorship opportunities include:

• Nationwide Schools Concerts
• NZSO National Youth Orchestra
• Public Open Rehearsals
• Preconcert Talks

Benefits include:

• Naming rights
• Advertising/Direct Marketing opportunities
• Complimentary tickets
• Hospitality opportunities
• Website listing
• Recognition as an NZSO sponsor in promotional material
