Sponsorship Opportunities
Financial sponsorships are a sound investment in the future of new Canadian orchestral music.
Esprit invites corporate sponsors to be partners in the creation of a Canadian musical legacy. Each of our subscription concerts costs in excess of $100,000 to stage, with ticket sales covering only 10% of the costs. Our Creative Sparks Mentoring and Creative Leadership Programme, which pairs composers with students to create and perform new orchestral works, costs over $35,000 to produce and our New Wave Composers Festival which showcases the next generation of rising star composers and features works by Canadian composers, requires an investment of over $65,000.

Esprit remains dedicated to connecting Canadian artists with Canadian audiences, both in Toronto and across the country.
Private Commissions of New Works
From the initial inspirational moment in the creative process to the final performance, Esprit nurtures new works from Canadian composers every year. Commissioning projects provide exposure for new talent and introduce audiences to new musical ideas. Esprit’s stage is where Canadian musical culture originates and gets celebrated with verve and conviction.
