Our History
1984 to Present

The Georgia Philharmonic was originally founded as the Sandy Springs Chamber Orchestra in 1984, had 42 members and a music director, all volunteering their time and talents. In 1993, two decisions shaped the future of the orchestra. The orchestra relocated to a new permanent home in the Roswell Municipal Auditorium in North Fulton County and later that year, was re-named as Orchestra Atlanta. At that time, Philip Rice took up the baton and guided the orchestra to new heights of musicianship.

2001 was a pivotal year for the orchestra. An administrative struggle at the board level was threatening to change the nature of the orchestra from the traditional classical repertoire. The artistic direction of the orchestra was in question, and the membership and its conductor voted to leave the board of Orchestra Atlanta. The 60-some musicians voted to create their own board and re-incorporated, now using the name Georgia Philharmonic, still pledged to perform the highest caliber of music for the entire community.



Our Mission
From the Board of Directors

Georgia Philharmonic is a philharmonic in the truest sense of the word: local musicians unite and perform out of their love of music. In doing so, our artists create classical music experiences that not only rival those of professional orchestras, but also delight and inspire audience members. Enthusiasts become repeat patrons, volunteers, and donors. Serving the communities of northern metropolitan Atlanta with cultural enhancement and education is our goal. Sharing our love and appreciation of fine music is our passion.
