Founded 51 years ago, the South Carolina Philharmonic has become one of the leading orchestras in the Southeast.
In 2008/2009, the South Carolina Philharmonic entered both its 45th year and a New Era of Artistic Excellence. A six-continent, nearly three-year search resulted in Morihiko Nakahara being named the orchestra’s fifth music director.
In addition to our signature, six-concert Masterworks Series at the Koger Center for the Arts, we offer concerts and lectures in the community, educational programs in schools and out, and our “Music for a Cause” program to partner with other area charities who share our desire to heighten the strong quality of life here. Our orchestra’s roots proudly intertwine with the Midlands.
Everything we do is planned and presented to entertain, educate, enrich, and excite – you.

Ticket sales alone are not enough to keep the orchestra playing.
