Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra

"I am not a musician. But I love to listen to music and in listening I've come to think of it as a necessary part of life."- George Eastman, founder of the RPO The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) has been committed to enriching and inspiring our community through the art of music since its origins in 1922. Now in its Centennial Season, the RPO presents approximately 150 concerts and broadcasts a year, serving up to 170,000 through ticketed events, education and community engagement activities, and concerts in schools and community centers throughout the region. Your support has allowed the RPO to flourish in a small city, and your continued support will allow us to make music for another hundred years. The RPO's Tiny Tots, Primary, and Intermediate concerts help foster a strong appreciation for the arts in our community's youth from the very beginning. Each year, the orchestra performs free concerts at schools, places of worship, and other community venues, seeking to provide everyone in our community with the opportunity to experience the music. Your support allows us to grow and expand such initiatives, ensuring that our community's vibrant culture continues to resonate. Just $5 will allow one child from the Rochester City School District to attend our educational concerts. Your donation to the RPO is not only a statement of support for the arts—it's an investment in the future of our community.
