Lawrence Eckerling, Music Director

The Evanston Symphony Orchestra values the businesses that support it. We are grateful to those companies that sponsor us in various ways. We work closely with these companies to ensure that their business and marketing needs are addressed, while helping us with costs of putting on concerts and extending our outreach programs.

We know that our audience and players are loyal to us and will be loyal to those businesses that support us. We work with businesses in a variety of ways, and are always delighted to start new conversations. Please call us on 847 864 8804 if you would like more information about our current sponsors or would like to have a discussion with us about how supporting our orchestra can help meet your marketing needs.
