Support your HPO
With a 140 -year legacy, and as one of Canada’s oldest leading professional orchestras, the HPO has proudly contributed to the shaping of this region’s cultural landscape through its commitment to artistic excellence, dynamic concerts that delighted audiences and all-ages education and music appreciation programs. Today, your HPO is a vibrant and continuously evolving orchestra with deep musical roots embedded in the community.
With a mission to improve the quality of life in the greater Hamilton Region, your HPO continues to foster the next generation of music lovers, inspire emerging musicians and new composers and nurture wellbeing.
The HPO has prevailed because it remains committed to staying relevant. As the needs and expectations of the community continue to evolve, the HPO is constantly innovating to engage current and new audiences, to elevate the music learning ecosystem, and to enrich every life with great music.
Last year, your HPO brought the power of live music to more than 30,000 individuals who attended mainstage, education, and all live community events.
HPO musicians made a significant educational impact, reaching over 8,000 students, through their participation in a wide range of school programs, teaching and mentoring the next generation of musicians and music-lovers.
To keep the music playing we ask that you join HPO’s Make Music With Us Matching Campaign and double your impact!
