Aurora is keen to work with corporate sponsors to enhance their business objectives whilst providing valuable funding for Aurora’s activities. As one of the UK’s most exciting new ensembles, Aurora attracts much attention from the media and general public and can offer many benefits to sponsors through publicity, small-scale corporate hospitality, opportunities for employee involvement and enhancing a social responsibility agenda.

There are two types of corporate sponsorship available:

Individual concert sponsorship:

Minimum donation £5000. This involves major sponsorship of a single concert in Aurora’s programme of events. As an individual concert sponsor your organisation will benefit from:

• Acknowledgement of your support in the concert programme and opportunities for major advertising on all promotional material (our current Royal Academy of Music concert series involves mailing lists of over 15,000 people, audiences of several hundred and exposure in the national media)
• Acknowledgement of your support on our website and in our newsletter, 'Illuminate,'
• Up to 30 complimentary top price tickets to the concert and accompanying invitations to our interval and post-concert receptions, where drinks and refreshments are served and you will have the opportunity to meet Aurora players, directors and other important guests

Corporate Membership:

This is a scheme designed to build a long-term major partnership between your company and Aurora, offering you numerous benefits through a special association with the orchestra over a period of time in return for long-term financial support. All corporate membership is tailored on an individual basis to reflect your company’s level and duration of commitment but will generally involve the following benefits, in agreement with you:

• Acknowledgement of your support on our website, in our newsletter and on all promotional and concert literature. Our work and literature reach thousands of people a year through concerts and publicity and the public and media exposure of the orchestra increases all the time
• Complimentary tickets to all Aurora events, including concerts, festival appearances and receptions, where there are opportunities for small-scale corporate hospitality
• Discounted advertising rates in Aurora publications such as concert programmes
• Opportunities to meet Aurora’s players, directors and be closely involved with the orchestra’s work and future planning
• For long-term corporate membership, there is the possibility of employee involvement through corporate training days. Aurora’s education work, in collaboration with the renowned Da Capo foundation, can provide invaluable corporate training through team-building and communication exercises involving music

A message from our Honorary Patron, Sir Colin Davis

"In these difficult times for classical music, it is essential to support and promote such projects as the newly-formed Aurora Orchestra. It is therefore very exciting to see this talented group of young players come together to make music with such artistic integrity. I do believe it is in such projects as this that music's future lies. "
