The guild
A strong network of CEOs with an eye to the future
To finance the orchestra’s special projects and to support these with their commercial expertise, the CEOs of prominent companies have united to form The Guild.
The Guild forms a strong network around the orchestra. Firstly thanks to the critical financial support we need to be able to invite exceptional soloists, or finance foreign tours. But mostly thanks to the sharp focus on future generations.
The development of talent and innovation are key concepts of The Guild, creating new, eye-catching collaborations. Such as the online performance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony at the start of 2020. During the first Covid-19 lockdown, the orchestra decided to perform from home. Millions of people watched and listened as the short film From us, for you went viral across the globe. With this online message, the orchestra put itself on the world map as an innovative force, whilst positioning itself within the heart of the local community. None of this would have been possible without the support of … The Guild.
The Guild is a home for the CEOs of leading companies or Rotterdam entrepreneurs who share a passion for Rotterdam, culture, and our orchestra. Membership of The Guild costs 6,000 euros per concert season (from September to the end of August). The cultural ANBI status of the orchestra means that all or part of this donation is tax deductible.
“Music is the soul of the city and that’s why I am a fan of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. I’m proud that our company can contribute as a sponsor to all the beauty that the orchestra shares with us.”
