The Philharmonia has served the metropolitan Kansas
City area and beyond for over fifteen years, playing a wide range of repertoire
of orchestral music for many who would otherwise be unable to afford or access
such an experience. Our regular season is comprised of three regular concerts
plus a family concert.
The orchestra is an educational resource as well as an arts organization that
contributes to the quality of life for our patrons. We serve as a training
orchestra for young, up-and-coming musicians, allowing them the opportunity to
gain valuable experience and benefit from the skills and tutelage of our
professional musicians. Our non-professional players - all volunteers - range
in age from high school players to retirees. The non-pros contribute an
estimated total of 2400 volunteer hours in a year of rehearsals and concerts.
We are supported by a combination of admission proceeds, donations, grants and

The average cost for one concert is $8000. This includes the salaries of the
professional musicians for rehearsals and concerts, music rental, and various
other costs such as printing of programs and mailings.
The Philharmonia qualifies as a 501 (c)3
organization, and is registered with the Missouri Secretary of State as a
non-profit organization.
