Your Ticket to Great Music
Where We Shine
Think symphonies are stuffy? Think again. We’re neighbors, coworkers, parents, and friends who trade laptops and stethoscopes for violins and trombones. Together, we bring you powerful performances that prove passion plays louder than anything else.
-
Concerts
Big symphonies. Beloved classics. Holiday traditions. Our performances are crafted to move and inspire—whether you’re a lifelong music lover or hearing the orchestra for the first time. Expect goosebumps, standing ovations, and maybe even a surprise or two.
-
Community
Music doesn’t end when the last note fades. We share what happens behind the music through talks and collaborations with local arts groups. From masterclasses to exclusive events, we’re creating new ways for South Jersey to experience the joy of symphonic music.
-
Support
Our musicians play for the love of it—but love alone can’t keep the lights on. Your gift helps fund venues, guest artists, and instrument care. You keep the stage shining, the music soaring, and the community inspired with every contribution.
We’re not just another orchestra—we’re your neighbors, coworkers, friends, and folks who show up hungry for great music.
Founded in 1991, the Philharmonic of Southern New Jersey is an all-volunteer symphony that delivers performances that rival professional ensembles. Yes, we’re volunteers. But we hold ourselves to professional standards — weekly rehearsals, world-class soloists, beautiful concert halls. We’re proud of what we’ve built in South Jersey: a home for inspiring performances, creative collaborations, and a place where community comes alive through sound.
