Support your orchestra

Music stirs each of us in a unique way, but it moves us all.

As music lovers, we understand the profound impact of live orchestral music – its power to move us deeply, stirring emotions and creating memories that stay with us long after the final note fades. But not everyone has the chance to feel the transformative power of music.

Your Orchestra Wellington presents concerts for all ages and fulfils a valuable role accompanying opera, choir, ballet and musical theatre in the region. We rely on YOUR generosity to do what we do.

Aside from the usual tangible benefits that the Orchestra can provide, nothing is more valuable than knowing that your contribution goes directly toward supporting the activity of a longstanding charitable organisation.

Your support sustains our mission, brings music to life on stage, and ensures that the transformative power of orchestral music reaches audiences of all ages throughout our community.

DONATE NOW


Collective Generosity

We are grateful for the on-going support of our Funders, Sponsors, Partners and Donors.

Support from generous individuals is increasingly important for us so that we are able to provide high quality orchestral experiences across our region and we would love for you to join our community of Donors.

For this purpose, we have defined our fundraising programmes to highlight the significance that each and every contribution makes to support our continued role in the cultural life of Wellington communities.

By renewing or increasing your gift each season, you help us grow, innovate, and inspire. Thank you for standing with us—your generosity is the music behind the music.

Every Gift Matters

Our goal is to be the most accessible orchestra in the country and we need your help. By making a donation now, you can help keep our ticket prices low so that people from all walks of life can enjoy our concerts.

Every donation is tax-deductible and acknowledged at every opportunity.
