Riverside County Philharmonic

The mission of the Riverside Philharmonic is to entertain Riverside with excellent performance of great music, to enrich the young and the young at heart with the beauty and relevance of the symphony, and to engage our diverse and dynamic community in an appreciation of the performing arts in the Inland Southern California region.

Established in 1959 as the Riverside Symphony, the community orchestra’s debut concert was held on April 7, 1959 at Ramona High School. It was a sell-out. The Philharmonic has been delighting its audiences ever since with performances of well-known masterworks, newer compositions and world premieres.
