The entire Pops Series is sponsored by PNC Foundation and Dr. Seth and Carolyn Fisher, the Masterworks Series is sponsored by the Thalenfeld Family Foundation, and the Chamber Concert Series is sponsored by the Stoppini Foundation.

The Philharmonic’s theme “Building Bridges” reinforces the orchestra’s community wide partnerships, which include the Sordoni Art Gallery, the Black Scranton Art Project, the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association, regional senior centers, regional schools, and public libraries. Its outreach programs, designed for toddlers through seniors enrich the lives of countless people of NEPA.
