Sponsors
We are very grateful to all sponsors and patrons who have given financial support over the years. Amateur orchestras need resources to help meet production costs, to enable future planning and to help purchase instruments and equipment. The following sponsors in particular have assisted the Nelson Symphony Orchestra in this way:
- Canterbury Community Trust
- Arts Council Nelson
- Creative New Zealand
- Fresh Choice Nelson
- Nelson Pine Industries Ltd
Businesses and individuals also sponsor the orchestra, providing resources to fund specific projects, commissions, travel and accommodation for visiting artists, recordings, promotion and scholarships.
Please contact Pam Seymour to arrange sponsorship or to make enquiries about becoming a sponsor.

The Nelson Symphony Orchestra is a registered charitable organisation which means that donations of any size are tax free and a great way to help the orchestra.
