Pennsylvania Philharmonic

We believe music education and the arts are fundamentally important and beneficial to the lives of all people. Our mission is twofold: introduce young minds to quality classical music and bring an enriching musical experience to communities around Pennsylvania.

Our school programs account for more than 60% of our performances in a given season. While educational in nature, our concerts are designed to entertain and engage students in the world of art music. By providing children with an introduction to a high quality symphony orchestra, we hope to spark their interest in music, encourage them to learn an instrument, and inspire them to be participants in the arts throughout their lifetimes.

Our public concerts are designed to bring music to the people. We do not believe audiences should have to commute long distances to experience a professional symphony orchestra. Traveling from New York City, Philadelphia, Washington DC, and everywhere in between, our musicians come together to bring innovative and exceptional programs directly to communities that desire it most.
