Please join our many supporters in securing the future of MCO. Your tax-deductible support for our artistic excellence will help us to build a long-term sustainable future for the orchestra.
Your support: Helping music thrive through unique challenges
As a small arts organisation receiving very limited government funding, the MCO relies on the generosity of its benefactors to ensure it can achieve its vision and mission.
The following are some of areas of our program for which we are currently seeking philanthropic support:
- Support for our world-class musicians (Artistic Director, Principals, Core Players)
- Engaging first-class soloists
- Bringing fine music to the regions of Victoria and beyond
- Access programs, including subsidised tickets for schools and the disadvantaged
- Composition and performance of new music
- General operating expenses
Your gift has a real and immediate impact:
- $220 supports the costs of one rehearsal for one musician
- $500 supports the hire or purchase of music for a typical project
- $1000 supports one wind or brass artist for a concert in Melbourne
- $2000 supports the engagement of a senior orchestral artist for a typical tour
- $5000 supports one rehearsal of a medium-sized chamber orchestra
For further information on supporting MCO, please call Executive Director Adele Schonhardt OAM on (03) 9119 1599.
