Mission Statement: To foster excellence and innovation in the performance and presentation of great music; to enrich the lives of our diverse citizenry; to educate current and future audiences and to bring distinction to our community through the orchestra's presence and standing.
The Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in 1961.
Our current annual budget is $1 million.
We recently concluded an endowment campaign raising nearly $2 million.
The Lexington Philharmonic recently named Maestro Scott Terrell as its new music director and conductor. Terrell comes to Lexington serving as the Resident Conductor of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra in Charleston, S.C.
The orchestra consists of 79 contracted union musicians paid per service; the number of musicians hired for performance depends on concert program.
Celebrating its 49th season in 2009-2010, the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra will present seven MasterClassics concerts, two Family concerts, five Peanut Butter & Jelly concerts (PB&J), LexPhil on Tour concerts throughout the state and an expanded education program, which includes two Discovery Series concerts.
MasterClassics concerts are performed on Friday nights in the University of Kentucky’s Singletary Center for the Arts, which seats nearly 1,500 for Lexington Philharmonic performances. Family and Discovery concerts are also held at the Singletary Center. PB&J concerts are held at various locations throughout central Kentucky.
