The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia: Endow Our Musicians' Chairs

Endow Our Musicians' Chairs

Take center stage by endowing a musician's chair at The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia.

Our musicians are among the finest in the Greater Philadelphia region and beyond. Support their artistry and share your passion for a particular instrument by endowing a principal chair in your own name or in honor of someone special to you.

All Chair Endowers will:

be listed alongside the name of the musician in concert programs
