Philanthropy

Support Your Sydney Symphony

Becoming a patron of the Sydney Symphony, by giving a gift, is about feeling connected. Being a patron connects you to the many beneficiaries of the Sydney Symphony's programs. These beneficiaries include teachers, school students, young artists and audience members, all of whose lives are enriched by the programs that our patrons make possible.

The Sydney Symphony has four philanthropic funds that support our different activities. Depending on your area of personal interest, you can decide how you would like to help the Orchestra. More information about the four funds and the programs they support can be found at the links below.

The Patrons Program

The Patrons Program plays a critical role in sustaining the Sydney Symphony's activities. Without the Patrons Program, the Orchestra would simply not be able to sustain the quality and breadth of its activities.

 

Orchestra Fund

The Symphony’s Orchestra Fund helps us realise the artistic vision of Vladimir Ashkenazy, our Principal Conductor & Artistic Advisor, and so much more.

Stuart Challender

The Stuart Challender Fund is an extremely important program for the Sydney Symphony. It was established in memory of the much loved and acclaimed Conductor, Stuart Challender to assist in bringing leading international conductors and soloists to Australia.

 

Allegro Education Fund

The Allegro Education Fund helps us to engage grow & develop the artists & audiences of the future by enabling us to give them access to the highest quality symphonic music.

Emerging Artists Fund

As part of our commitment to nurturing talented young musicans, the Sydney Symphony provides a range of programs that identify and cultivate the bright stars of the future.
