Sheet Music & Listening
For the 2023-2024 season, the Spartanburg Philharmonic will be posting the music folders as PDF downloads rather than mailing folders of printed sheet music. We will then provide high-quality, large printouts or originals at the first rehearsal. Please select your part below to open and download your music.
Individual Parts:
If you received a hard copy of your music at or before the March 23, "Best of Broadway" concert, the link below is not active.

Notice:
The Spartanburg Philharmonic is adopting a new look starting with the 2023-2024 season. We will no longer be wearing the white tie and tails tuxedos. Rather we will be wearing all black. Please see below for full details and restrictions.
Options:
Solid black suit (black jacket and black pants); solid black shirt; black straight tie; black socks and black dress shoes.
Solid black skirt/dress/dress pants (ankle-length to floor-length when seated); solid, black dressy blouse/top with full or 3/4 sleeve; black dress shoes.
All Restrictions (all concerts):
No colors, or decorative adornments on any clothing; only solid is acceptable.
No substitutions of navy for black and no black denim.
No sandals, sneakers, or other informal footwear; no open-toe shoes or sandals.
No flashy jewelry (metal jewelry is particularly distracting due to stage lighting).
No alarm/beeper watches, cell phones, or pagers; all cell phone ringers and alarms on watches will be turned off during rehearsals and concerts.
PLEASE refrain from the use of perfumes, colognes, aftershaves, hairsprays, or other heavily scented products in order that neighboring Musicians may play in comfort, and without allergic reactions.
Parking & Directions
Parking is available in one of the parking lots on Fairview Ave nearest the auditorium. You may park either next to the school or in the large lot across Fairview. To get backstage, enter the Lawson Academy doors and proceed straight through the lobby. After the restrooms, follow the hallway left and then right, and you will be backstage.
Paychecks
The Spartanburg Philharmonic will issue compensation to each Musician WITHIN TEN BUSINESS DAYS after the final service of a sequence of rehearsals and performances. Please note: checks will not be issued until updated W-4 is received by the Personnel Manager.
Comp Tickets
Subject to ticket availability, the Philharmonic shall provide the musician, upon request, one complimentary ticket to each of the season subscription concerts. The Musician may purchase from the box office any number of additional tickets at a 20% discount, also subject to availability.
