Our Take Your Seat Chair Supporters

AdYO’s generous Take Your Seat Chair Supporters play a vital role in shaping the next generation of South Australian musicians.  

By supporting a specific chair within one of our ensembles, they create a direct and meaningful connection to the music, the musicians, and the vibrant future of orchestras in our UNESCO City of Music. Thank you!
