Concert with the Philadelphia Orchestra Brass
Philadelphia Orchestra Brass Players to be announced
ORGAN: 1931 E.M. Skinner
Girard College Chapel, 2101 S College Avenue, Philadelphia
The Festival’s opening concert showcases Girard University’s famed 1931 E.M. Skinner organ, with heralded soloist Chelsea Chen, joined by members of The Philadelphia Orchestra brass. Hailed by the Los Angeles Times for her “rare musicality” and “lovely, lyrical grandeur,” Chen has won international acclaim. The irresistible pulse of Ravel’s classic Bolero is spectacularly reimagined in Chen’s arrangement for organ, brass and snare drum, in a program that includes works by Dupré, Bach and more.
This concert is part of the Philadelphia Organ Festival, taking place from March 15 through March 22, 2024. See the full list of events at phillyorganfestival.org.
