About Us
In 2005, a small group of musicians began rehearsals at Southern Middle School and gave a Winter Performance at Pinecrest High School. This small group has continued to grow and includes a rotating roster of over 45 members of students and adults. Since starting, the MPO has created a healthy relationship with Sandhills Community College in Southern Pines and is now able to offer college credit to students 16 or older.
The MPO has also created relations with Festival of the Tress and Pinehurst Resorts as well as other community groups.
Should you, a relative, or friend have any previous experience playing a string, wind, or percussion instrument you are most welcome to join the Moore Philharmonic Orchestra. We are a community orchestra consisting of amateur musicians who enjoy playing some interesting classical and pops music. We have an open membership policy and require no auditions. Please drop by a rehearsal to sit in for a fun evening of playing your instrument.
