| Chair Sponsorships
CHAIR SPONSORSHIPS AND ENDOWMENTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE!
In 2007, for the first time in its 26 years, Bach Fest provided the opportunity to make a specific gift to our wonderful annual convergence of musicians and music lovers. It is now possible to sponsor or endow principal orchestral chairs in the Bach Fest Orchestra.
These gifts may be made in the donors' own names such as "The John and Mary Doe Concertmaster Chair", or in honor of a loved one who loves or loved music, e.g. "The Jane Doe Memorial Principal Cello Chair". The Chair "sponsorship" is for one year. An endowment would be in perpetuity as the donation would be invested and the proceeds from the investment would be used to fund the 'chair' on an annual basis. Both donations are tax deductible as Bach Fest is a 501(c) (3) organization.
Donors will be gratefully and prominently noted in all programs and will also have the chance to get personally acquainted with the musician filling that chair and learn about the inside workings of an orchestra and its musicians. It would be fascinating and something to be proud of.
This new program is similar to those made available by almost every major symphony orchestra in the country; and in almost every university professorial chairs have been endowed by donors. This ia a wonderful opportunity to give "Bach" to the community, one's family and at the same time provide substantial support to the Lake Chelan Bach Fest.
