Philadelphia Sinfonia

Gary White, conductor

We are pleased to present a special performance by the Philadelphia Sinfonia, one of the nation's outstanding symphony orchestras for young musicians. Based in Philadelphia and heard regularly in concert at the Kimmel Center, this ensemble of 100 professional-caliber orchestral musicians thrilled and delighted our Trenton audience at the War Memorial this past February with their debut perfor- mance of major works by Russian com- posers. The audience response to that concert was so positive that we decided to invite them back again this coming season for another exciting program of large-scale orchestral works. Don’t miss this exciting concert featuring specially reduced ticket prices!

Tickets: $25, $20, $15, $10, $5
