New Hampshire Philharmonic Orchestra Inc.

The New Hampshire Philharmonic, The Phil, is the state's oldest orchestra, tracing its roots back to 1895, and continuously performing since 1905.  The Philharmonic connects people to the power of classical music, using the model of a living laboratory.  The Phil brings together the best student, amateur and professional musicians in compelling performances of the core repertoire.

The New Hampshire Union Leader dubbed us “a fine-arts flagship for New Hampshire.”

Each year the orchestra mentors some of the state's finest young musicians, providing each young artist an invaluable experience in his or her growth as a musician. Grammy-award winning composer John Adams described his experience with our orchestra:

“My experiences with the New Hampshire Philharmonic were of critical importance to my growth as a musician.”  Come, join the community that makes up the New Hampshire Philharmonic.
