Philly High School Musicians To Perform At All City Jazz Festival

The Philly POPS invite the public and media to the All-City Jazz Festival, a concert showcase featuring many of our city's most promising young musicians. The festival will feature performances by eight local high school jazz bands and the All-City Jazz Orchestra conducted by Philly POPS' Artistic Director for Jazz, Terell Stafford.
