On Sept. 23, 2011, Carolina Philharmonic announced a $3,000 matching grant to "Kids+Music", a local music education program that brings innovative education programs into schools. Kids + Music has already succeeded in more than matching the grant and the programs are now again underway in schools. Click here to view video about the program on youtube.

Among the many highlights of this past season, on March 3, at 7pm, David Michael Wolff and the Carolina Philharmonic returned to Carnegie Hall's Weill Hall. Many of our patrons made the trek to Manhattan with the Orchestra for this exciting performance of Barber, Mozart and Ewazen.
We are still a small philharmonic with big ideas - help us achieve our vision by making a tax-deductible donation to the Carolina Philharmonic. Every concert we present requires underwriting as ticket sales only cover 15% of the costs of running of Symphony Orchestra. Consider associating your name or your company's name as an underwriter of exceptional music - our future depends on it. Call 910.687.4746 for more information.
Maestro David Michael Wolff, regular guest artist at Carnegie Hall and other major venues throughout the world, launched the West Side Chamber Orchestra, serving Fayetteville, Southern Pines and Greenville, NC in January of 2009. Our debut performances on February 28th and March 1st in Fayetteville and Southern Pines were received by repeated ovations and ecstatic accolades.
The entire ensemble then joined forces with Maestro Wolff's NY orchestra, the Manhattan Chamber Philharmonic, on April 4th, 2009, making their shared debut in Carnegie Hall. A full house brought to its feet convinced the Presenter to invite the WSCO back to Carnegie on March 3, 2011.
After our whirlwind first season, we incorporated as a non-profit and in the process changed our name to Carolina Philharmonic. Although we remain a Chamber Orchestra, Carolina Philharmonic has a decidedly more local flavor and leaves open the possibility of metamorphosis in the future. We strive to show the unity of musical expression through solo performances, small chamber groups, small and large Chamber Orchestra formations, as well as occasional expansions to a full Symphonic Orchestra. Also, historically, the term philharmonic did not refer to a large musical ensemble, but rather simply to making music together.
If there's a defining feature of the Carolina Philharmonic, much more than its virtuosity, it's the tangible joy of musical expression that brings its audiences repeatedly to their feet, from Fayetteville to Carnegie Hall. Come experience the mesmerizing joy of the Carolina Phil.
Please Help Maestro Wolff bring Carnegie Hall to your doorstep by supporting the Carolina Philharmonic, both through your presence at the upcoming concerts throughout 2011/12, and through your financial gifts. Our immediate and lasting success depends on your generosity and passion for great music. If you believe the cultural life of Moore and Cumberland Counties and the surrounding region should continue to be enriched by the presence of Maestro Wolff and the Carolina Philharmonic, please give generously. There are many ways to give and be acknowledged for your gifts. Please contact carolinaphilharmonic@gmail.com with questions about giving.

Santa Barbara News-Press: Wolff's performance…was electrifying, heart stopping. With soaring lines pealing away layers of underlying passion the scene became intensely personal..... nearly impossible to watch, spellbinding. The audience went into an uproar and those that were there are still talking about it." Click here to read full review (8-17-1994) from the Santa Barbara News-Press.
