You can't whistle a symphony, the saying goes. And the work is the reason for the work, applause or not. Near the end of a difficult week, as Covid-19 arrives, Philadelphia's Orchestra performs to an empty Verizon Hall at the Kimmel Center: Beethoven's 5th and 6th symphonies. The full, gorgeous 1 hour 45 minutes are worth the listen, but the last 2 minutes merit undivided attention. The music closes, the musicians rise to face deafening silence, the heart claps thunderous gratitude for beauty in a difficult time. Stay strong Philly.

WINTERfest19 Approaches! Join us for our semi annual celebration of student design work, performance, and play. Free and Open to the public. 3.30 pm -6.30 pm Thursday, 20 December 2019. Special Alumni Reception at 5 pm.
