The Fine Arts Orchestral Society of Yonkers (FAOS) sponsors of the Yonkers Philharmonic Orchestra. FAOS leads the way in providing free live symphonic concerts to residents of the city of Yonkers, and its surrounding communities. Sponsored by FAOS, the Yonkers Philharmonic Orchestra performs four free concerts each year at Saunders High School. In the past, the orchestra has performed outdoors in Getty Square and at the Cross County Shopping Center, the Hudson River Museum, the Yonkers Marina, and Untermyer Park.

FAOS recognizes, showcases and encourages talented young musicians. When Pasquale A. Pistone, founder of the Yonkers Philharmonic Orchestra, died in 1971, FAOS started giving scholarships in his memory to promising music students from Yonkers. This program grew into our current Concerto Competition, in which talented high-school students from all over Westchester County are offered the opportunity to compete for scholarships and to perform as soloists with the orchestra.

For musicians interested in joining The Yonkers Philharmonic Orchestra, please contact James Sadewhite at jsadewhite@aol.com. The orchestra rehearses Tuesday evenings from 8:00pm to 10:00pm at the Saunders Technical High School in Yonkers, NY (with a final dress rehearsal on the Thursday night before each concert). There are four Sunday concerts at 3:00pm between September and June (with a break over the winter holiday).

Please join or renew your membership with our philharmonic family, and keep the Yonkers Philharmonic Orchestra a vital symbol of our community. Please encourage your firm/company/corporation/colleagues etc. to support the orchestra's free concerts.

Let your name live on...
For years the Yonkers Philharmonic Orchestra has been operating through the generous contributions of its friends. We are concerned about the future. Please consider remembering us in your will. Any help will assure the future of our orchestra.
