Circle City Orchestra

Circle City Orchestra, Inc. is a nonprofit dedicated to enriching Indianapolis through music, bringing together musicians and supporters to celebrate orchestral artistry.

Our Mission

We inspire, educate, and connect the community through high-quality musical performances and programs. We believe music has the power to bring people together, encourage creativity, and strengthen communities. Through our orchestra, we provide opportunities for musicians to perform while offering audiences memorable cultural experiences that highlight the beauty of orchestral music.

What We Offer

We organize concerts, community events, and workshops throughout the year. Our programs include live performances, youth development, and collaborations with local artists. We strive to create experiences that are both entertaining and educational for all ages.

Our Vision

We aim to be a respected community orchestra recognized for artistic excellence and impact. By supporting musicians at all stages and offering mentorship, we help students develop creativity and confidence through musical expression and community-focused learning opportunities.

Community Engagement

Community involvement is central to our work. We actively seek partnerships with schools and arts organizations to expand access to music. Our volunteers and supporters make our mission possible every single day.
