Day of Free Music

​PRESS STATEMENT
 
For October 5, 2015:
 
Join the Philadelphia Orchestra Musicians in our Day of Free Music on Monday, October 5, when orchestra musicians will infuse the Philadelphia region with free performances for our community. From The Porch @ 30th St Station to schools, from local libraries to the Philadelphia International Airport, musicians of the world-renowned Philadelphia Orchestra will animate this culturally-rich city as a gift to our community.
 
The musicians of the Philadelphia Orchestra are musical messengers for you, our community, and we believe in the power of music to transform lives. This Day of Free Music is our way of showing gratitude to our community for understanding that music lies in all of us, and our greatest wish is to share that with you, our neighbors, our communities, our city, and our world. Thank you for sharing the day with us, and we look forward to greeting you in person at one of our events.
