Emirates and Sydney Symphony Orchestra Renew Longstanding Partnership

Emirates and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra (SSO) have announced the renewal of their longstanding cultural partnership, continuing a collaboration focused on global artistic exchange, performance tours and community outreach.

 

The extended agreement reinforces Emirates’ commitment to supporting the arts and cultural initiatives around the world. Since its inception, the partnership has enabled the SSO to bring acclaimed musicians to audiences both in Australia and internationally, while also facilitating educational and engagement activities designed to broaden access to orchestral music.

Under the renewed partnership, Emirates will continue to sponsor SSO tours, providing flight support that helps facilitate performances abroad and enhances the orchestra’s ability to reach international audiences. The collaboration spans staged concerts, chamber music programmes and special events that showcase Australian talent across diverse cultural venues.

Representatives from both Emirates and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra highlighted the importance of arts sponsorship in strengthening cultural ties, promoting music education and enhancing community engagement. Emirates has previously worked with major orchestras and cultural institutions worldwide, aligning its support with initiatives that promote creativity, diversity and cross-border artistic dialogue.

The renewed partnership also includes expanded opportunities for SSO musicians to participate in outreach activities, workshops and educational programmes that inspire young musicians and nurture creative development within local communities.

According to Emirates, the collaboration reflects a shared vision of leveraging cultural partnerships to create meaningful experiences and foster global connections — extending beyond passenger travel to enrich the lives of audiences and artists alike.

The Sydney Symphony Orchestra will continue to be a cultural ambassador for Australia, with Emirates’ support helping ensure that performances and educational efforts extend to new regions and audiences throughout the coming seasons.
