Your Philadelphia Orchestra will travel up Broad Street for a free community festival and performance on Wednesday, June 26, at 7:00 PM at the Temple Performing Arts Center. Led by Assistant Conductor Austin Chanu, the Our City, Your Orchestra Live performance will bring the spirit of the free digital series Our City, Your Orchestra—which uncovers and amplifies the voices, stories, and causes championed by Philadelphia organizations and businesses—to in-person audiences with the full Orchestra. The concert will celebrate the North Philadelphia community and will feature works by Adolphus Hailstork; Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges; Scott Joplin; Florence Price; Duke Ellington; Jessie Montgomery; and William Grant Still. As part of the Orchestra’s ongoing exploration of the works of Black American composer Still, Principal Librarian Nicole Jordan and Chanu have created a new set of definitive orchestral materials of his Wood Notes that will be used for the first time in this performance, made possible by a generous grant from the Pew Center for Arts and Heritage.

Austin will be assisting and covering guest conductor Anthony Parnther in Elfman’s score of Batman live.
