THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA
"The Philadelphia Orchestra is unquestionably one of the world's greats - its sound is incomparably thick and sweet, like a luxurious syrup, with rich string tone, weighty brass and booming timpani."
-Financial Times

2009 Philadelphia Orchestra Highlights
Lincoln Portrait
The Season opens on August 5 with a first-ever appearance at SPAC by actor ALEC BALDWIN who will narrate Aaron Copland's Lincoln Portrait.
