TICKETS + INFORMATION

You never know with the Philadelphians: one night they’re playing hours of Rachmaninoff, but on another they’re (locally) premiering a new choral-orchestral piece by John Luther Adams. (And bringing The Crossing with them from Philadelphia as the chorus!) The other piece on Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s program is The Rite of Spring (rather more frenetic than any Adams) — which many of us of a certain age first heard played by this orchestra.
