The Charlotte Philharmonic Orchestra was an American orchestra based in Charlotte, North Carolina. As the second largest and most active professional performing arts organization in the central Carolinas, the Charlotte Philharmonic played approximately 10-15 performances each season and employed 80 professional musicians. Annual attendance for CPO performances numbers over 150,000.
Founded in 1990 by Dutch conductor and composer Albert E. Moehring leading 75 musicians. In 2010, the Charlotte Philharmonic Orchestra was unable to continue operations, due to the economic downturn. Due to strong demand, it was stated in 2015 that Mr. Moehring was exploring bringing the Charlotte Philharmonic back to the citizens of Charlotte.
