Season 3 Sponsors and Patrons
The third season of Pinnacle Winds features six concerts and is entitled A Season of Symphonies. The cost of giving a single concert is around $25,000. Without the help of patrons and sponsors, Pinnacle Winds will not be able to achieve its mission of becoming the first civilian, full-time professional wind band in America this century. We need your financial support and your endorsement of our activity.
