AREAS TO SUPPORT
By supporting the TSO, you assist us to make a lasting impact in the communities we serve, extending our reach into schools and regional communities and inspiring the next generation of classical musicians. Your support ensures that the TSO can keep classical music alive, and inspire musicians and audience members alike for generations to come. We would be delighted to welcome you as a TSO Patron and join our diverse range of donors who are also passionate about music.
AREAS TO SUPPORT
Pledge your support of the music you love by donating to one of the following areas detailed
below – Orchestra, Schools & Artistic Training, or Community.
Play a key part in the TSO’s artistic vision for the future.
Whether the TSO are performing live or streaming online, we enjoy a reputation well beyond the shores of our island state and attract world-class musicians, guest artists and conductors to perform alongside our talented orchestra.
We have a strong reputation for championing new Australian works and pride ourselves on our diverse collaborations with both local and interstate artists.
Our 90-strong TSO Chorus is internationally renowned for its large choral works and has collaborated with iconic institutions including Sydney Symphony Orchestra and Hong Kong Philharmonic. Closer to home, the TSO Chorus maintain their local identity through partnering with local festivals and regional touring in Tasmania.
Inspire a life-long love of music learning.
Passionate about introducing the joy of music to everyone, the TSO offers a comprehensive education program to music lovers of all ages.
Whenever possible, the TSO takes musicians and ensembles to schools and community venues, and schools come to the TSO to experience tailor-made education concerts and attend orchestra rehearsals.
To complement these performances, we offer a range of online resources for schools and anyone wishing to learn.
The TSO is passionate about nurturing the next generation of composers and conductors with intensive training programs such as the Australian Composers’ School, Australian Conducting Academy and Louise Crossley Conducting Workshop, which provides a unique opportunity for them to work alongside a symphonic orchestra and to build an important toolkit to strengthen their future career.
The TSO Rising Star Competition provides an exciting opportunity for students studying classical instruments or vocalists. Eligible Tasmanian students audition for the opportunity to perform as a soloist with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra in a concert event.
Make an impact in your Community.
Ensure we connect all Tasmanians with a love of music.
Our TSO To You program enables Tasmanians from all corners of the state an opportunity to experience the TSO. This is done through pop-up performances at community halls and aged care facilities, as well as workshops by our Community Ambassador Musicians and Live Screening events of our Federation Concert Hall performances.
Our Community Rehearsal is always a popular event on the TSO Calendar where TSO musicians rehearse side-by-side with community members from around the state.
TSO's Growing Pain in the Arts is a skills development program for Tasmania’s small to medium creative sector. This workshop series provides a wonderful opportunity to develop knowledge and experience in a variety of critical areas, which in turn collectively strengthens the creative spirit in Tasmania.
"As a non-musician I love the opportunity to have a friendship with one of our world class musicians, and to learn and understand their life in music."
As a Chair Patron you have the special opportunity to develop a wonderful relationship with your chosen musician, to learn about their artistry, and get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of what it’s like to be a professional musician in an orchestra. You will join a diverse community of patrons who share your passion and love for the music, and musicians, of the TSO. You can support a musician as an individual, or you might like to form a syndicate with your friends and family. Chair Patron support starts from $5,000 per annum and donations are fully tax-deductible.
Visit Meet the TSO to see our musicians and their Chair Patrons.
