Symphony League of the SC Philharmonic

The purpose of the Symphony League of the SC Philharmonic is to foster, promote, and increase musical knowledge and appreciation of the performing arts in the community and to cooperate with and support the South Carolina Philharmonic.

The Symphony League of the SC Philharmonic provides financial and volunteer support to the South Carolina Philharmonic Orchestra, its Youth Orchestras, and opportunities for music education for youth in our community. The music education programs include Link Up and Music in My Neighborhood for communities across the Midlands area. The Symphony League also provides financial support to the Southeastern Piano Festival and volunteers during the Arthur Fraser International Piano Competition held during the festival. In addition, the Symphony League coordinates, organizes, and supports various fundraising projects to support the South Carolina Philharmonic throughout the year.

Since its inception, the Symphony League has contributed over $900,000 to the South Carolina Philharmonic and over 20,000 volunteer hours.

In celebration of 30 years supporting the Symphony League Endowment Fund, Abacus Planning Group will match $2,500 of donations on Midlands Gives Day!
