Sponsorship

Sponsorship and our Workshop – Why we need your help…

The Delta Jazz Workshop, now in its seventh year has been largely self-supporting through tuition fees and concert ticket sales.

Tuition fees alone can only support a limited number of faculty members and guest artists, which restricts the scope of what the workshop can offer

Sponsorship dollars help us to:

  • Keep tuition fees down
  • Offer scholarships to talented students who lack the financial means to attend
  • Expand our concert series and cover artist fees
  • Expand our advertising and promotional efforts and allow us to communicate the important work we are doing to the community
  • Keep concert ticket prices low and accessible for the general public and offer free concerts (outdoor and other public venues) at a number of locations throughout Delta.
  • Add new full or part-time faculty members to help cope with increasing enrolments

Why Support the South Delta Jazz Workshop ?

  • Enrich and enliven the cultural life of Delta through the development of cultural events at a professional level.
  • Help our young people develop and grow musically, socially, and intellectually.
  • Associate your company’s with a positive, visible performing arts community event
  • Build our community pride and spirit through public concerts; help us create a professional concert series in your community

The Future:

  • The Delta Jazz Workshop began six years ago and is growing every year.
  • We are working towards expanding the Jazz Festival component of the event as the educational component grows.
