The IWSO are indebted to Wightlink for their continued sponsorship. They provide generously reduced fares ferry crossings for our conductor, soloists and guest musicians. Without their support we could not operate in the way we do.

We are also extremely grateful to Allan Marsh LRPS for much of the photography of the Isle of Wight Symphony Orchestra published on this and other websites.

The players love making music so much that they each pay £120 every year in the subscription. This covers our rehearsal fees and goes towards the hire of music, concert venue costs and fees/expenses for players of instruments that do not reside locally. It also allows us to employ a high-quality conductor.

Recently we have been lucky enough to have sellout houses for our concerts, however even with all this support the majority of our concerts run at a financial loss. The Medina Theatre is an excellent venue but is limited on its seating capacity. There is no other venue on the Island that has a stage big enough or acoustics good enough for the orchestra.

We need to keep ticket prices competitive to attract the full houses, but need to explore other revenue streams. Can you help?

We are actively seeking sponsors both corporate and individual. Maybe you have a special Birthday or Anniversary, or might like to support a concert in memory of a loved one? Support can either be acknowledged in the programme or you can remain anonymous.

Areas where sponsorship would be welcome are listed below, the monetary values are there as a guide and are open to negotiation.
