We are an intentionally diverse organization. We prioritize hiring musicians, composers, and administrators from historically under-represented groups. The Philadelphia Civic Symphony is an ensemble that commits to elevating the voices of the under-represented on stage and through audience engagement. We perform in venues around Philadelphia as a mobile orchestra increasing accessibility and affordability to symphonic performances for all. 

The reestablished Philadelphia Civic Symphony will build their repertoire celebrating the works of under-represented composers both past and present. The ensemble is dedicated to being a pillar in the community for marginalized artists by providing training and support to young professionals and audiences by cultivating relationships with other like-minded organizations. We, through that collaboration, will create inclusive and equitable performance spaces for the LGTBQ+ community, those who identify as female/non-binary or transgender, and people of the global majority. We are champions of change - we are a civically minded orchestra.
