We believe that collaboration is the smartest solution for creating a better future. In this spirit, OFiC is initiating actions that will foster greater Inclusion and Sustainability, utilizing Music and the Arts as tools for this purpose.
We promote musical excellence through international standards in musician selection and a full weekly schedule, including section rehearsals and orchestral practice.
We offer artistic exchanges with a variety of internationally renowned conductors and soloists, enriching our diversity of ideas.
We innovate in the format of our thematic musical programs, engaging our audience and inviting listeners to participate in the performance process, following the “musicking” concept.
Additionally, we value the individual artistic development of musicians, offering projects that include musical workshops, solo and small group performances, creating an environment conducive to artistic growth.
We foster enriching dialogues where all performances promote interdisciplinarity, stimulating integration and exchange between music and other artistic genres.
Moreover, we facilitate cultural globalization, developing highly engaged regional platforms in international projects and staying up-to-date with the latest global trends.
Our mission encompasses various aspects:
We promote education through didactic concerts using a pedagogical language, focusing on building new audiences, especially among children and youth in public education.
We work on democratizing culture by bringing our performances to public spaces, making music and the arts accessible to everyone.
Our activities also include the health sector, with pioneering music therapy initiatives in hospital centers and health institutions.
Finally, we contribute to citizenship through choral training programs, aimed at musical education for youth in disadvantaged communities, in addition to instrumental workshops taught by orchestra musicians.
Our commitment to environmental awareness is expressed through thematic musical programs that stimulate critical thinking and opinion formation on environmental and climate issues, always held in outdoor venues.
Moreover, we have gained international prominence by becoming a world reference in environmental awareness through music and the arts, chosen as the resident musical group for the UN’s COP-30 event in Brazil in 2025.
Our notoriety and reach are further expanded with the creation of intelligent content for broadcast on NDTV Group media, through marketing campaigns on open TV, radio, newspapers, and digital platforms, solidifying our global impact and influence.

Throughout this period, it has been actively involved in artistic production, managing unique projects and high-quality cultural events in the state of Santa Catarina.
Each initiative of the Catarinense Philharmonic Orchestra Association is designed with a general objective in mind: to contribute to the development, promotion, dissemination, and production of symphonic and instrumental music, maintaining a high technical and artistic standard.
Through an innovative and inclusive format, the association envisions large-scale projects with significant sociocultural impact, charting new paths and bringing significant artistic innovations to the national arts scene.
Our artistic commitment involves generating and developing new languages, formats, and performance dynamics, preserving century-old traditions while also encouraging creativity that opens the doors of concert music to new audiences.
The institution’s work has been officially recognized with the OSCIP (Civil Society Organization of Public Interest) certification, facilitating partnerships to realize its proposals. Our calling has been and will continue to be making a difference, and this difference is made by combining Music, Art, Inclusion, and Sustainability.
