an orchestral outlet for the rich and diverse musical talent of the
NIH and HHS research community. In the following year, it added
woodwinds and brasses and quickly expanded its size and repertoire.

NIH Philharmonia Orchestra
Visit Our Website
NIH
Philharmonia is an all volunteer orchestra founded at the
National Institutes of Health in January 2005 under the
professional musical direction of Dr. Nancia D’Alimonte.
The orchestra was established by a core group of NIH
scientists and federal workers with the goal to play orchestral
music from all genres in free concerts open to the public.
Building community while inspiring and educating
audiences has been at the heart of the NIH Philharmonia's
mission since its founding in 2005. The
orchestra is always looking for players who are committed to
sharing a passion for music with the community.
NIH
Philharmonia performs a four-concert season from October to May,
at St. Elizabeth Catholic Church in Rockville. 19th
and 20th Century composers plus world premieres make
up the repertoire for the season. Concerts
are performed to capacity audiences—a testament to the success
of the mission of this unique civic orchestra.
Rehearsals are Tuesday evenings in Bethesda.
