Penn Symphony Orchestra: An Evening of Concertos with Guest Soloists

February 22, 2025 (Saturday) — 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM

St. Agatha-St. James Parish Church
3728 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA

The Penn Symphony returns to one of its favorite venues on campus, collaborating with the Moxart organization, whose musical mission is to provide musicians, specifically including amateur musicians, with opportunities that would otherwise not be available. Their concerto program offers advanced amateur and other accomplished musicians an opportunity to rehearse and perform a concerto with a fine orchestra.  This concert will also feature our triumvirate of assistant conductors Ramsey Reyes, Rick Barrantes and Caleb Thompson who will be conducting as guests for the program.  Join us for this distinguished evening of music-making to celebrate the delightful works of Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven.

ABOUT PENN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

The University of Pennsylvania Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1878 and is comprised of musicians from throughout the University community, primarily non-music majors. The ensemble rehearses for four hours each week and performs a diverse range of repertoire drawn from the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth Centuries. The Penn Symphony Orchestra rehearses and performs in historic Irvine Auditorium on Penn’s Campus. Due to the increased number of student participation, the ensemble has expanded to two ensembles with rotating/interchangeable personnel.
