Become a patron

Patronage

The Festival d’Auvers-sur-Oise is one of the most prestigious music festivals in Europe. In music, it takes up the spirit that the Impressionists brought to painting: variety, vivacity, curiosity, freedom. Baroque Auvers, classical Auvers, romantic Auvers, operatic or contemporary Auvers… so many different temperaments, unfolding in places steeped in history.

Being a patron

For many years, the Festival d’Auvers-sur-Oise has received the support of companies and individuals who wish to associate themselves with its artistic policy (voice, piano, chamber music from Bach to Escaich), with its identity and with the main strands of its development: discovering young artists, creating new works, composers’ residencies, the DiscAuverS recording mission, educational projects, “Orgue Aux Enfants” workshops, masterclasses and international touring.

Becoming a patron

  • Associate your company with the Festival’s identity and values: boldness, high standards, creation, openness.
  • Help make classical music accessible to all by supporting educational projects, work with audiences who cannot easily attend, and co-productions in France and abroad.
  • Strengthen your company’s image, both internally and externally.
  • Enjoy historic venues in which to entertain partners, clients and staff.
  • Contribute to bringing the business world and culture closer together.

The benefits

  • Unique visibility as a patron.
  • Privileged hospitality and access to concerts and dress rehearsals.
  • Meetings between artists and patrons linked to the programme.
  • Exclusive benefits for your company’s employees.
  • Attractive tax treatment (French law of 1 August 2003 on corporate patronage).

Taking part

Tailor-made patronage: since 1988, the Festival d’Auvers-sur-Oise has built its patronage policy around bespoke partnerships, and a great many companies and businesses stand alongside it to support its development, take part in the discoveries of its DiscAuverS recording label, and extend its educational work and its accessibility to the widest possible audience. This patronage may take the form of a gift in cash, in kind or in skills, and with each company the Festival works to build a partnership that matches its values and its projects.

Patronage by individuals

Individuals who love classical music and the arts, and who are drawn to the singular history of the Festival d’Auvers-sur-Oise, support it through its Circle of Patrons. Individual patrons actively help the Festival carry out its boldest projects and contribute to its financial balance through their annual donations. Their support can take various forms: some fund an entire musical production, others strengthen the DiscAuverS mission or contribute to a creator, composer or visual artist, or to the “L’Orgue Aux Enfants” cultural project. Being a member of the Circle of Patrons means experiencing the Festival more intensely and helping to spread its reputation. Patrons are closely involved in the life of the Festival throughout the year, receive invitations to special occasions and are invited to the annual charity evening “Dîner des Cent” at the château de Méry-sur-Oise.
