About the Foothills Philharmonic


Foothills Philharmonic is an all-volunteer orchestra made up of accomplished nonprofessional musicians from the Upstate region.  Orchestra membership includes individuals from many walks of life:  part-time musicians, teachers, business and professional people, homemakers and more.  Dr. Gary Robinson is our Music Director and Conductor and our performances are held at Greenville Technical College.

Membership in the Foothills Philharmonic is open to amateur and professional musicians.  Avocational musicians must audition to become members; training in youth orchestra, college orchestra, or professional orchestra, in the Greenville Concert Band or an equivalent band is suggested as necessary experience.  To schedule an audition, call Dr. Gary Auguste Robinson at (864) 232-0175.

Foothills Philharmonic is currently seeking men and women to help with a wide variety of jobs.  Volunteers play a critical role in the success of Foothills Philharmonic and every hour you can donate will be appreciated.  For example, you can serve as an usher, help in the music library, sell program ads, assist with the post-concert reception or work on mailings.  We are also looking for people to serve on our Board of Directors.  Please remember that every gift you give is important to us.

Call the Foothills Philharmonic President, Karen Allen, (864) 246-8572, today if you want to contribute to one of Greenville's cultural gems!  Admission to chamber concerts is free. Symphony concerts held at the Gunter Theater are offered to the public for a minimal ticket charge. Donations for operating expenses are cheerfully and gratefully accepted....  Fully tax-deductible gifts can be made by check, made payable to Foothills Philharmonic.
