If you're in the #Philly area looking for something unique this #holiday season, consider yourself invited to this year's #TubaChristmas performance on Sunday, December 21 at 1:00 and 6:00 PM inside the #KimmelCenter. It's an hour’s worth of festive holiday music that is both family friendly and free! It may seem like just a novelty act, but once you hear what we do, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Join us! [Shameless plug: I'm playing at the early show.] https://phillytubachristmas.com
#Philly friends: #TubaChristmas is coming back to the #KimmelCenter on December 21 this year! Two performances are scheduled: noon and 6:00 PM. It's super easy to get to via public transit, only one hour long, and it’s free!
If you're looking for some festive #holiday fun that’s just a little bit off the beaten path (and a great way to have your kids hear some live music), this is the place to be. I'll be playing at the noon performance, so feel free to wave vigorously. https://phillytubachristmas.com
Mark GardnerVia @waltman, some good #ClassicalMusic news from #Philly. “#MarianAnderson Hall” sounds so much nicer than “#Verizon Hall.”
Philadelphia Orchestra's home renamed Marian Anderson Hall as Verizon name comes off
The Philadelphia Orchestra’s home is being renamed Marian Anderson Hall in honor of the pioneering Black American contralto, a rare case of an artist's name replacing a corporation. The orchestra’s auditorium in the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts was known as Verizon Hall from 1999-2023, as part of a $14.5 million contribution agreed to by Bell Atlantic Corp. before its name change in 2000 to Verizon Communications Inc. Anderson, who died in 1993 at 96, was born in Philadelphia and in 1955 became the first Black singer to appear at New York’s Metropolitan Opera.

Geeking out over the fact that I got tickets to see Yuja Wang and the Philadelphia Orchestra performing the Rach 3 to celebrate the great composer's 150th birthday. Seeing the Rach 3 live is bucket list for me - seeing Yuja perform it will make it even more amazing. #classicalmusic #music #philadelphia #arts #art #supportthearts #philadelphiaarts #kimmelcenter #orchestra
