Philharmonic secures financial commitments for capital campaign

The Columbus Indiana Philharmonic has hit a high note on major financial matters.

Leaders reported during Monday’s annual meeting at the Columbus Area Visitors Center that the nonprofit organization has financial commitments of $1.9 million for its $2.5 million capital campaign for the planned new 80- to 100-seat Helen Haddad Music, Arts and Event Center connected to its Franklin Street office.

That’s about 75 percent of the needed funding.

“Our board and our community have come together to support our vision,” said Sharon Andrews, outgoing board president.
