We are musicians at play.

The Edmonton Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in 1971 as an amateur community orchestra, playing in nursing homes, hospitals, malls, schools and all around the Edmonton region. Rehearsing, improving our skills, and performing are the primary activities of our member musicians.


The Edmonton Philharmonic Orchestra acknowledges that it is on Treaty 6 territory, a traditional meeting ground and home to many First Nations, including the Cree, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stony, and Cree-Iroquois, as well as the Métis. The orchestra expresses gratitude for the opportunity to rehearse and perform on this land, recognizing its history as a traditional meeting place for numerous Indigenous peoples.
