Philharmonic Society's 2020 Virtual Gala: Making Music Essential

In this 75-minute online celebration, the Philharmonic Society of Orange County will be highlighting the great programs and concert series that have cemented our place within our community for more than 60 years through our mission to further the appreciation of classical music.

As Orange County’s first music organization, the Philharmonic Society presents the world’s greatest symphony orchestras, chamber ensembles, soloists and international artists, and offers its Youth Music Education Programs, one of the most extensive music education programs of its kind in the country, free of charge to schools, students, and parents, reaching more than 100,000 students from elementary through high school each year.

Music is an essential part of any great community. This virtual evening will feature some of classical music’s biggest names, from Pinchas Zukerman and Alisa Weilerstein to Conrad Tao and Ray Chen, as they share some of their favorite musical selections.
