What is the background for The Philadelphia Orchestras Neighborhood Concert Series?
The 2009 Neighborhood Concert Series continues The Philadelphia Orchestra’s commitment to celebrating the vitality of neighborhoods throughout the Philadelphia region, bringing the Orchestra into communities in a variety of settings, and introducing the world-renowned ensemble to new audiences. By bringing the gift of music into the communities where people live, the Orchestra has worked to break down the barriers that separate it from many people in the community. In past years, The Philadelphia Orchestra has performed free Neighborhood Concerts in Chestnut Hill, Upper Darby, North Philadelphia, Rittenhouse Square, Northeast Philadelphia, West Philadelphia, Washington Township (NJ), Radnor (PA), South Philadelphia, Camden (NJ), Penn’s Landing, Montgomery County, and at City Hall in Center City Philadelphia.
