The Friends of the IPO is a volunteer group that supports the orchestra by hosting several fundraising activities, helping with mailings, and other activities. One of the events they sponsor is the RISING STAR SHOWCASE, a program designed to offer performance ready music students in the South Suburbs a chance to perform before a live audience.

NOTE: as the event is traditionally a hard ticketed event and utilized as a fund raiser for the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra (which focuses heavily on Education and youth musician efforts), we hope you will enjoy these performances and consider making a donation to support future Rising Star Showcases.
