This paper delved into the orchestra and how it has developed in the Philippines and attempted to uncover its 1neaning in Philippine social life, culture and tradition. The study looked into the orchestra culture as it developed in Manila in the late nineteenth until the twentieth century, specifically the years between 1896 - 1986; which is considered the peak of orchestra music organization and performance in the country. 1896 is the year that the Molina Orchestra was identified as the first non-church orchestra that intentionally promoted the study and propagation of orchestra music in Manila. The years following are of great historical significance to the Philippines and Manila in particular, as Filipinos experienced winds of change from foreign invasion, rule and governance. Included in the paper are case studies of Philippine orchestras which are intended to describe the unique facets of each orchestra's culture in detail, as seen through their organizational structure, program designs and curation, shared orchestra experiences, common music education backgrounds, among other things. The paper ends in the Marcos era and the years immediately following that brought about the historic and phenomenal EDSA Revolution of 1986. Throughout all these historical events, the Philippine orchestra was always part of the social scene. Symphony Orchestra 1896-1986 Philippines. Jose, Ricardo Trota adviser.
