The Filharmonic

What The Filharmonic does

The Filharmonic is a Los Angeles-based Filipino-American five-piece a cappella group. It performs for general audiences, corporate and private event organizers, and concert venues, while releasing recorded music and creating Riff-Off and music-video content. Its public profile includes appearances on NBC's The Sing-Off, a feature in Universal Pictures' Pitch Perfect 2, and regular appearances on The Late Late Show, alongside performances with artists including John Legend and Shawn Mendes.

The group's core capability is vocal arrangement and music production, blending hip hop, pop, and R&B in a cappella performances without instrumental accompaniment. Its commercial model combines quote-based direct live-show bookings, national and international performances, music sales and streaming through Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play, and an online vocal-training course called The Vocal Lab. Audience and booking development uses YouTube, Instagram, a newsletter, and a direct booking email; the available data discloses no software platform, patents, AI or machine-learning systems, funding rounds, or revenue figures.
