The Clermont Philharmonic Orchestra was formed
during 1997 and presented its inaugural concert on October 2, 1997 in
collaboration with the 25th anniversary of UC Clermont College. Clermont
College, the cultural center of Clermont County, is the home of the
orchestra for rehearsals and concert hall performances. The CPO
orchestra and chamber players have performed many concerts at local
schools and other social institutions. The CPO Pops has performed
numerous outdoor summer concerts at various parks throughout Clermont
County. Performances have included such international musical stars as
Sandra Rivers, piano, Pip Clarke, violin, John Hendrickson, piano and
Alex DePue, the fiddler. The CPO has combined with the West Clermont
Schools Strings Orchestras in several performances.
The CPO League was
formed in 2002 and currently has around 20 members. This is an
all-volunteer group, which assists the Orchestra with many
necessary functions including publicity, mailings, and assistance with
logistics at concerts. The CPO League encourages additional membership.
