CHAMBER ORCHESTRA FIRST EDITIONS
EIN 47-5608852 · Arts, Culture & Humanities N.E.C. (A99)
What they do
to PRESENT PUBLIC CONCERTS and ON-STAGE DISCUSSIONS of NEW COMMISSIONED WORKS BY PHILADELPHIA-AREA COMPOSERS and of EARLY WORKS BY W.A. MOZART. WE SEEK to EXPLORE MOZARTS EARLY PROGRESS and PROCESS AS A COMPOSER, and AT THE SAME TIME to PRESENT NEW WORKS BY COMPOSERS of OUR OWN TIME. HOW THESE TWO DIFFERENT THEMES CONVERGE and INTERSECT PROVIDES THE FOCUS for EVERY FIRST EDITIONS CONCERT. IN ADDITION, COFES MISSION is to COMBINE WORLD-CLASS PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS FROM SWARTHMORE and HAVERFORD COLLEGES. IT ALSO EXPLORES and EXPERIMENTS WITH THE MUSICIANS, ORCHESTRA SEATING, and VARIOUS METHODS of COMBINING BRIEF PRESENTATIONS of NON-CLASSICAL, SOMETIMES NON-WESTERN, MUSIC WITH MORE TRADITIONAL APPROACHES to PERFORMANCE.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Good paperwork is a good sign—not proof. The best answer comes when the charity can show what it changed, who it helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
