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.
