Sponsorships and Friends of the CSO

The Chattanooga Symphony & Opera, like many arts organizations, relies heavily on donor support to offset the costs associated with providing the community with a variety of musical, educational and outreach programs. The “Friends of the CSO” campaign helps to raise this donor support each year. As a “Friend of the CSO” you will have the opportunity to be listed in our concert program books, and be invited to special appreciation events.

Series, concert and education and outreach sponsorships are just some of the other ways to lend your financial support to the CSO. For more information about supporting the CSO contact Katie Wilson at (423)267-8583, ext. 104, or kwilson@chattanoogasymphony.org, or go now to Donate On-line!
