Brief History of the Carolina Phil:
Maestro David Michael Wolff, regular guest artist at Carnegie Hall and other major venues throughout the world, launched the West Side Chamber Orchestra, serving Fayetteville, Southern Pines and Greenville, NC in Jan. 2009 . Our debut performances on Feb. 28th and March 1st in Fayetteville and Southern Pines were received by repeated ovations and ecstatic accolades.
The entire ensemble then joined forces with Maestro Wolff's NY orchestra, the Manhattan Chamber Philharmonic, on April 4th, 2009, making their shared debut in Carnegie Hall. A full house brought to its feet convinced the Presenter to invite the WSCO back to Carnegie for the 2009-10 Season.
After our whirlwind first season, we incorporatated as a non-profit and in the process changed our name to Carolina Philharmonic. Although we remain a Chamber Orchestra, Carolina Philharmonic has a decidely more local flavor and leaves open the possibility of metamorphosis in the future. We strive to show the unity of musical expression through solo performances, small chamber groups, small and large Chamber Orchestra formations, as well as occasional expansions to a full Symphonic Orchestra. Also, historically, the term philharmonic did not refer to a large musical ensemble, but rather simply to making music together.
If there's a defining feature of the Carolina Philharmonic, much more than its virtuosity, it's the tangible joy of musical expression that brings its audiences repeatedly to their feet, from Fayetteville to Carnegie Hall. Come experience the mesmerizing joy of the Carolina Phil.
