Patrons of the Philharmonic

Patrons have an opportunity to meet musicians of the Philharmonic at invitation-only events.

Donor Recognition
The New York Philharmonic gratefully acknowledges the donors to our Annual Fund for their generous support.

The arts have always depended on patrons - those music lovers who support and encourage the highest creative endeavors. The New York Philharmonic could not exist without its Patrons.

Patrons make it possible for the New York Philharmonic to perform each season with unparalleled guest artists, under the leadership of the greatest conductors in the world. Yet Patrons do more: their gifts help sustain the future of the Orchestra and classical and contemporary music.

What does it take to become a Patron of this Orchestra - one of the finest orchestras in the world? A gift of $1,500 or more, a majority of which is tax deductible or fully tax deductible if benefits are declined. In addition, many corporations match charitable contributions, making a Patron gift even more valuable.
