Give Big Pittsburgh 2026
Pittsburgh Magazine’s “Give Pittsburgh” is a major fundraising event that occurs on Giving Tuesday (December 1, 2026). For 24 hours, this online program allows local nonprofit groups, like the Pittsburgh Philharmonic, to receive funding from generous Pittsburgh area donors.
Last season, ticket sales accounted for 20% of our income, with donations and grants making up the majority of our budget. Your financial assistance is crucial to our continued success. As we celebrate our 51st season, your support helps us honor our rich history while ensuring that the Pittsburgh Philharmonic continues to bring the joy of live orchestral music to our community for generations to come.
On Giving Tuesday, please remember the Pittsburgh Philharmonic in your giving. The link below will take you directly to our page where you can read more about us as you contribute to our organization.

Hosted by Principal Bassist Benjamin May, the Pittsburgh Philharmonic Podcast offers listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the orchestra, its musicians, and the music we perform. Through interviews with orchestra members, conductors, and guest artists, the podcast explores the stories, personalities, and musical journeys that help bring each concert season to life.
Episodes will feature conversations with members of various sections of the orchestra, discussions about upcoming performances and composers, historical insights into the organization, and highlights from past concerts accompanied by archival photos, recordings, and video. Whether you are a longtime supporter of the Pittsburgh Philharmonic or discovering the orchestra for the first time, the podcast aims to provide a deeper and more personal connection to the music and the people who create it.
