The 13th Annual High School Orchestra Festival spotlights the young talent in Orange County high schools, allowing students to perform on the professional stage of a world-class concert hall. An adjudicated event designed as a showcase instead of a competition, each orchestra provides a 30-minute concert. Ticketholders have in/out privileges, allowing them to enjoy the entire day and evening performances.
Your attendance supports not only our young musicians’ performances, but proceeds will also help fund school music programs and the Philharmonic Society’s Youth Music Education Programs, ensuring that passion for music continues for generations to come.
This event is part of the Philharmonic Society of Orange County's nationally recognized Youth Music Education Programs.
Hungry in between performances? Dine at one of the following participating restaurants or order take out, with proceeds benefitting youth music education programs like this one. Just make sure to mention the Philharmonic Society when you order.
