IRS990/Desc0Community Programs - The Erie Philharmonic offers the community the opportunity to enjoy the orchestra at no cost because of two key community initiatives: the In Your Hometown summer music series and television specials aired on the local NPR/PBS affiliate, WQLN TV. During the summer, various orchestra emsembles present approximately ten musical performances in community parks throughout the region, delighting attendees of all ages. The televised performances bring the wonder of the Philharmonic directly into the homes of community members. Often the televised special intertwines the music with local landmarks and history to help shape a unique story. In addition, the Erie Philharmonic Chorus is a 100+ member volunteer community chorus. The chorus provides its members with vocal opportunities and an inclusive space to enjoy the love of music and performance. These initiatives, among other community interactions, are an integral part of the organizations mission.
