The Philadelphia Orchestra, with Musical Director Yannick Nezet-Seguin, Conductor Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos, and Soloist Andre Watts (Piano) will be at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall on February 9, 2013.
The Philadelphia Orchestra announced today major funding pledges from the William Penn Foundation, Wyncote Foundation, Gerry Lenfest, the Neubauer Family Foundation, and members of the Board of The Philadelphia Orchestra Association. With $11.2 million in outright gifts and pledges and an additional $16.3 million pledged as challenge grants to inspire philanthropic support from our community, this initial funding signals an important vote of confidence in the plan being launched by the Orchestra. To fully meet these challenge grants - and to fund the first three years of its plan - The Philadelphia Orchestra must secure an additional $17.5 million in contributions by the close of 2011. This effort will take place concurrently with the Orchestra's Annual Fund campaign.
The 2011 Season of The Philadelphia Orchestra at SPAC will feature many firsts including award winning actor and Saratoga Springs native David Hyde Pierce joining us to narrate the orchestra's performance of Britten's classic, A Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, an evening with Grammy winning saxophonist Branford Marsalis, and a full screening of classic film Casablanca with a live orchestral performance of the film's score.
