50th Season Celebration - Our Golden Anniversary
Signs mounted on WPO's office building, 174 North Park Avenue, High Street side.
The Warren Philharmonic Orchestra has achieved 50 years of performances with its 2015-2016 season. The Golden Anniversary Committee began meeting in late summer of 2014 to make plans for a grand celebration in June 2016 to celebrate 50 years of classical music in our community. The committee consisted of 15 community advisors that include several business leaders and other professionals and was chaired by Gina Bodor. Visit our History page to learn more about our first 50 years. A list of 50th Anniversary Fund Contributors has been compiled.
