Phil the Gap!

Covid-19 has cut our 2019-2020 concert season short, losing our last concert of the season, annual Gala (our biggest fundraiser of the year), Masterworks Chamber Music Festival, Shining Stars recital and numerous outreach performances. By losing these crucial events, we have lost a substantial amount of income and gained a large gap in funds. We need your help, now more than ever to help Phil the Gap!
All funds raised during Phil the Gap will go towards our 2020-2021 concert season, and will fund additional supplies needed to put appropriate social distancing measures in place for when it is safe to perform live orchestra concerts again.

The Wisconsin Philharmonic was founded as the Waukesha Symphony Orchestra in 1947 by Carroll College President Nelson Vance Russell as a gift to the community. Throughout its history, the Philharmonic has been considered a true community treasure creating significant cultural and educational opportunities.
Today, The Wisconsin Philharmonic still holds an important place in the fabric of the community. The Philharmonic performs five Masterworks performances each season and draws audience members from the six county area of Waukesha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington, Jefferson and Racine counties. Educational opportunities and scholarships remain a vital component of the Philharmonic programming.
