Why
Become a Patron, Sponsor or Benefactor...
For
over fifty years, the Jamestown Concert Association has brought the finest
quality classical performances to the Jamestown area at affordable
prices. Year after year outstanding solo performers, chamber ensembles
and symphony orchestras have graced our concert halls to the delight of
audiences young and old. But, ticket sales alone cannot compensate these
series of world-class artists. We depend upon the generous support of
local individuals, businesses, and foundations. If you enjoy having
wonderful, live, local performances, please consider becoming a patron,
sponsor, or benefactor. If you are part of an area business, please
consider a corporate sponsorship. The cultural arts of a community speak
volumes on the standards it sets for future generations. Music has been,
and will always be, an integral part of society. We would like to
continue to present excellent classical concerts at an affordable price to the
general public. With your help, we will be able to do this.
