Arlington Philharmonic

A professional symphony orchestra entertaining the Arlington community since 2006. The mission of the Arlington Philharmonic is to make classical music accessible to every Arlington resident, to promote the value of classical music in our civic life, and to build strong, creative partnerships with schools, local government, businesses, and other organizations. The Arlington Philharmonic is the only professional symphony orchestra in Arlington, Virginia. The Philharmonic performs three classical concerts annually at various locations throughout Arlington, plus an outdoor concert at Lubber Run Ampitheater. The Philharmonic is unique among regional professional orchestras because it does not charge admission. This means that the excellent, live, professional music performances the Philharmonic provides are available to everyone - at every income, every age. We also sponsor a range of education and outreach initiatives for all ages, including programs for students in the Arlington Public Schools, for adults over 55. We also sponsor the Crescendo Chamber Music Program for middle and high school strings students. Arlington Philharmonic concerts are supported solely by grants and donations. Although there is no charge to attend Arlington Philharmonic concerts, donations help defray the costs of the performances and are greatly appreciated. The Philharmonic is supported in part by Arlington County through Arlington Cultural Affairs, a division of Arlington Economic Development, and the Arlington Commission for the Arts, and in part by the Commonwealth of Virginia through the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. The Arlington Philharmonic is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.
