The ORP prepares and performs 4 concert series every season, and we perform each series at two different venues: First Baptist Church of Oak Ridge and Cokesbury United Methodist Church.

In this extraordinary music community, the joy of attending concerts knows no bounds, as audience members are not required to pay for tickets. This delightful experience is made possible through the dedication and generosity of our volunteer musicians who selflessly share their talents with the world. Additionally, the concerts are funded through successful fundraising efforts, fostering a harmonious environment where music remains accessible to all, transcending financial barriers and bringing people together through the power of music.

Embracing the spirit of inclusivity and fostering a love for music, the ORP warmly welcomes all aspiring musicians without the need for auditions. This unique approach encourages individuals of diverse backgrounds and skill levels to come together and collaborate, united by their shared passion for music. By removing the barriers of auditions, the orchestra creates a supportive and nurturing environment that allows musicians to develop their talents, build confidence, and contribute to the collective harmony of the group.

Supporting a local, non-profit community orchestra can take many forms, allowing audience members to become active advocates for the arts. One way is through financial contributions, where individuals can donate to the orchestra directly or sponsor specific events and initiatives. Additionally, volunteering time and skills can be invaluable, assisting with concert logistics or marketing efforts. Another impactful way to support the orchestra is by attending concerts regularly and encouraging others to do the same, thus increasing awareness and appreciation for the orchestra's work within the community. By engaging in these various ways, audience members play a vital role in ensuring the orchestra's sustainability and continued enrichment of the community's cultural life.
