The Weidner Philharmonic at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay is a professional orchestra dedicated to reimagining the symphonic experience through dynamic, engaging, and creative music programming. Housed at The Weidner on the UW-Green Bay campus, Wei Phi showcases the exceptional talents of accomplished orchestral musicians from across Northeast Wisconsin, all within’ the outstanding acoustics of Cofrin Family Hall.

Each year, Weidner Philharmonic presents a wide array of performances featuring cornerstone Fall and Spring concerts that heavily showcase a mix of composers that often heard and new voices that will be heard long in the future. The concerts include surprising production value, relaxed audience experiences and contextual clues for listening in order to make new audiences feel included and welcomed. 

In addition to the repertoire concerts, Weidner Philharmonic partners with local arts organizations to produce beloved holiday orchestral experiences including The Nutcracker at The Weidner with Northeastern Wisconsin Dance Organization, which is one of only three Nutcracker productions in the state of Wisconsin with a live symphony orchestra. Starting in 2024, Wei Phi partnered with The Dudley Birder Chorale of St. Norbert College on Holiday Pops at The Weidner. In 2023, Wei Phi’s symphony recordings were approved by John Williams to perform the Harry Potter™ In Concert Series, performing the first installment in the film series to sold-out audiences in the Spring of 2024.
