SPONSORSHIP OF THE LONDON PREMIÈRE PERFORMANCE
ST JOHN'S, SMITH SQUARE
22 APRIL 2009
ST JOHN'S, SMITH SQUARE
22 APRIL 2009
The performance of a one night concert at St John's has its cost. To provide the audience with first class singers, instrumentalists and conductor results in a considerable financial commitment. Although every care has been taken to budget wisely the total cost will be in the order of £45,000. The income from ticket sales would never be able to match this cost and this is why we are coming to you for sponsorship. The elegant and prestigious setting of St John's, Smith Square, with its world-wide reputation as one of the Capital's prime concert venues and masterpiece of Baroque architecture, provides you, our sponsors, an opportunity to welcome guests to the London première of this exciting new choral work. Our Fortississimo Sponsor will be offered the availability of The Footstool Restaurant in the crypt below the concert hall providing reception facilities with drinks and canapés or fork buffet to make this a perfect occasion to thank those colleagues or clients and enjoy a relaxed evening with all the advantages of networking and making new contacts.
