Sponsors and Funders

Support from sponsors and funding bodies enable us to produce our festival to the highest international standards. We are grateful and proud to be associated with the following investment partnerships:

Principal Sponsor

The Nelson City Council is the principal sponsor of the Adam Chamber Music Festival. It invests in the Festival through its Events Strategy because of the substantial economic impact the Festival has on the Nelson economy.

The Nelson City Council is also principal sponsor of the 2022 Adam Summer Celebration.

Naming Rights Sponsor

Long time supporters of the Festival are Denis and Verna Adam through the Adam Foundation. Without their support the Festival would probably not have survived to where it is today. The Adam Foundation is also strongly supporting the 2022 Adam Summer Celebration.
