The 50-member Centralia Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the oldest, non-professional orchestras in Southern Illinois. A typical season offers something for everyone including classical music, a cabaret style pops concert, an outdoor concert complete with fireworks and a Christmas holiday concert with the Choral Society and area school choirs.

     Children's concerts are often given and a Young Artist Competition with monetary prizes is held to encourage young musicians. Workshops are provided in dulcimer music, the Suzuki method of violin, and others if interest is shown. Musicians are welcome for all of Southern Illinois. The Orchestra rehearses on Monday evenings at the Community Arts Center, at 7 p.m. prior to performances. Suzuki Violin Classes meet at 4:30 & 5:30 p.m. on Mondays.
