About Us
The Moore Philharmonic Orchestra is a community based symphonic orchestra to serve Moore County. The goal of the MPO is to allow student the opportunity to utilize and expand their musical education outside the classroom setting and give adult members an oprganization through which to continue their personal musical pursuits.
The Moore Philharmonic Orchestra began in the fall of 2005 when 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 30-45 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.
Membership in the Moore Philharmonic is open to any one. There is no fee to join and there is no formal audition process. Seating in the group is determined by members of the Board. Anyone interested in joining should email us through the contact page.
