Corporate Sponsorship

Investing in the Winspear and the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra (ESO) offers ways for you to connect with and give back to Edmonton citizens. When you support us, you also invest in your employees, clients, business and community through our marketing, entertainment and education programs.

See how your business can grow with us ― one of Alberta’s premiere arts organizations, at home in the world-class Francis Winspear Centre for Music.

Please contact Tanya McLean, Community Investment & Group Sales Manager if you are interested in supporting the Winspear or the ESO.


Treat your clients and employees with Company Ticket Packages

By purchasing company subscriptions and ticket packages, you can reward your employees' hard work or say “thank you” to valued clients. Tickets to an ESO performance provide a dynamic way to acknowledge those who do so much for your business.

Entertain to impress with hospitality nights

Sponsor a night and host your staff, clients and their spouses at a performance and reception. Your VIP evening with us may include:

  • complimentary tickets to the performance;
  • access to the Landmark Group Founders’ Room or other event spaces for your private reception;
  • guest artist and conductor meet-and-greets;
  • behind-the-scenes tours of the Winspear Centre;
  • advertising space in our Digital Program;
  • acknowledgment from the stage of your performance support; and
  • recognition in marketing materials as an evening sponsor.

Reach a desired audience with customized sponsorship packages

Strengthen your brand and reach a powerful audience through customized and creative sponsorship opportunities. You’ll gain access to unique ESO experiences while raising your business profile. Here’s how:

  • We know every business has different objectives. That’s why we’ll work with you to create a sponsorship program designed to meet your unique needs.
    • The ESO offers many concerts, series, special events and programs with unique audiences for you to access

Give charitable donations

As a not-for-profit organization, we rely on the community’s generosity to keep us playing. Ticket sales account for 40 per cent of the total cost of a season packed with vibrant concerts. Annual, charitable support helps keep the ESO experience you’ve come to enjoy available for the entire community ― with tickets as low as $24 each.

  • All charitable donations receive a tax receipt.
  • All donors receive multiple benefits designed to bring them closer to the music. It’s our way of saying ‘thank you’ for your support!

Invest in our youth and become a Musical Creativity Partner

Every year, the ESO delivers music education programs for nearly 30,000 children and adults from Central and Northern Alberta. Business community members, who champion arts education, support a large part of these programs, all of which offer well-rounded student development as part of the Alberta Education Curriculum. Check out our education programs to learn more.

Help underprivileged communities and those in need

Donate a block of tickets and give your chosen charities the opportunity to send their clients, members and staff to an ESO concert.

  • Our First Chair program encourages companies to make a charitable donation to the ESO. In exchange, we donate the equivalent value of tickets to local, charitable organizations so more people can experience the beauty of live, orchestral music. Donors or the ESO can select the recipient organization.
  • We work closely with Kids Up Front, donating hundreds of tickets every year to children and parents who may not have the means to experience the ESO.

Captivate your group through group ticket purchases

Perhaps you want to treat your staff to a night out, provide a destination for your conference guests or even create a networking opportunity for your club or society. If you purchase 15 or more tickets to any ESO concert, you’ll qualify for substantial savings.
