Philharmonic Association -Top-Rated Nonporift

April 14, 2011

The Philharmonic Association was selected as a Top Rated Nonprofit during the January 2011 Arts Appreciation campaign held by Great Nonprofits. Great Nonprofits provides a website where all types of nonprofits can be independently reviewed. The PA was reviewed and offered suggestions by parents, musicians, alumni, donors, and music professionals.

Here is a small sampling:

The standards set by the Philharmonic Association are high, and when a child is accepted into the organization, they know immediately that they will be challenged to become the best musician possible. We have watched our son grow in confidence and poise, and he now approaches auditions and new opportunities enthusiastically.

Clearly, the PA played a great part in helping her grow, by challenging her and giving her an opportunity to be part of something big. What used to be a reason to get together with other children is now an opportunity to play great classical music and to feel good about her abilities. The musical skills that she has acquired with PA, and the ability to collaborate in making music, will stay with her for the rest of her life -- a true gift for any child.

The PA does not discriminate in any way with respect to someone not being able to afford the cost of participation. That is such an honorable and great commitment and needs support from all of us.

The Philharmonic Association provides wonderful repertoire for their orchestras that challenge us but are within our ability to perform. They also provide sectionals with actual members of the North Carolina Symphony! These musicians provide personal attention, kindly offering their expertise. The rehearsals are fun, but the icing on the cake is the opportunity to present our hard work to the public in Meymandi Concert Hall!
