5th Annual Audience Appreciation Day Free Concerts Throughout our Community September 23, 2019 An Invitation from the Philadelphia Orchestra Musicians: One Monday each fall, The Philadelphia Orchestra Musicians (POM) voluntarily organize and donate a Day of Music throughout the greater Philadelphia area. This year, join us September 23rd for a series of free, informal small ensemble concerts, a token of appreciation to the Philadelphia area community. We'll perform in 25-30 different venues throughout the day, including schools, churches, public plazas, libraries, retirement homes, coffee shops, and even SEPTA stations. We hope to reach as many of our neighbors as possible with these up close and personal musical experiences, so that we can spread the joy and sense of meaning that music can bring to our lives. Come enjoy the music and get to know us! For a complete listing of events, click here! A nice short article featuring our own Associate Principal Trumpet Jeff Curnow is in Saratoga Living!
