The Australian Festival of Chamber Music is a not-for- profit organisation that relies on government funding, box office revenue, local and national business support, and the generosity of individuals, organisations and patrons. Sponsorship is an invaluable way to support the Festival and ensure we continue to deliver a Festival that is enriching, educating and entertaining. As a not-for-profit organisation, we rely on the financial contributions from sponsors to cover the operational costs of the Festival.
Your contributions go toward nurturing young and emerging artists through the Winterschool programme, commissioning new works, inspiring future generations of music lovers with education and outreach programmes, creating new artistic collaborations and recruiting international artists to perform for North Queensland audiences.
In return, our sponsors enjoy great benefits, including branding and acknowledgement, networking opportunities, tickets, and of course alignment with Australia's leading chamber music Festival.
We offer three major sponsorship opportunities:
- Corporate Sponsorship - businesses can support at a Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze Level
- Artist Sponsorship - individuals and businesses can sponsor an international musician or an Australian musician and help cover the costs of bringing the artists to Townsville
- Chef Sponsorship - individuals and businesses can support the annual Chefs in the North Dinner by sponsoring one of the local or national chefs preparing the sumptuous dinner on the night
Corporate Sponsorship
Our Corporate Sponsors are invaluable to the longevity of the Festival and their generous contributions ensure we maintain a unique and engaging Festival programme. We offer very reasonable corporate sponsorship packages, depending upon the financial commitment possible, including Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze.
Artist Sponsorship
Artist Sponsorship goes to the very heart of our festival family. As a festival renown for the quality of the artists whom attend, your patronage makes magic happen. All of our guest artists have an extraordinary biography with many performing all over the world. Apart from masterful concert performances, our artists also provide invaluable mentoring, teaching and guidance to young emerging musicians through the Winterschool Programme. Our Artist Sponsor benefits ensure that you are at the very heart of the festival action, mingling with artists, fellow sponsors and privy to exclusive events... experiencing the festival at its best.
Chef Sponsorship
Since its inception in 2006, the Chefs in the North Dinner has become one of Townsville's most sought-after evenings. We offer very reasonable sponsorship opportunities for individuals or businesses wishing to show their support to the Festival and enjoy recognition and acknowledgement as a sponsor of a Local or Visiting Chef.
