About the Dayton Philharmonic Volunteers Association

Welcome to the Dayton Philharmonic Volunteer Association

The Dayton Philharmonic Volunteer Association was created in 1952 with an on-going mission to support the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra in the areas of education, promotion, fund raising and membership development. The current membership of the DPVA is 300 men and women, the largest volunteer organization to support the Dayton Philharmonic and the largest music education program in the United States.

You can find DPVA volunteers throughout the community in schools as docents, educating school children prior to attending Young People’s Concerts, ushering youth concerts, providing hospitality to musicians, collecting used instruments to be refurbished for Dayton Public School children and fund raising. The DPVA signature event is the Designers’ Show House & Gardens. May, 2007 marked the fifteenth Show House.
