The ASU Philharmonia provides its members an engaging and vigorous orchestral experience for both music and non-music majors. Led by music director Julie Desbordes, the orchestra serves its music majors by providing them important foundational orchestral experience with a deep variety of repertoire and serves its non-music majors by providing them an opportunity to continue their orchestral playing at the college-level, expanding their knowledge and enjoyment of advanced repertoire and playing alongside pre-professional players. The Philharmonia is committed to advancing diversity and equity through its programming, guest artist interaction, multi-disciplinary collaboration, and community engagement.

The ensemble performs at least two programs each semester and meets twice weekly. Membership in the Philharmonia is by audition and open to all musicians.
