Erie Philharmonic

Because of donors like you, music is alive and well in Erie! Since the start of the orchestra in 1913, the Erie community has never stopped showing their support. From performances with our world class orchestra, to our education programs in local schools, none of this would be possible without you. 

Because of donors like you:

Over 70 Musicians are employed

Free youth concerts serve 8,000 children from across the region

230 pounds of food was donated to Second Harvest Food Bank of NW PA at our Come Home for the Holidays Concert

Our 2022 economic impact study shows the Erie Philharmonic generates $10.3 million in economic impact for the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with 86% remaining right here in Erie County. We strive to partner with local businesses to keep revenue and jobs in Erie! 

From instrumental petting zoos to in-school performances, our musicians are committed to enriching the lives of thousands of people each year. Our summer concerts take us all over the country to places like Corry, Meadville, North East, Girard, Fairview, and Edinboro. 

Our mission is to enrich, educate, and entertain. Without donors like you, achieving our mission would not be possible.

This Erie Gives Day, you can be part of something bigger.
