The Philadelphia Art Alliance

The Philadelphia Art Alliance is the oldest multidisciplinary arts center in the United States, bringing the visual, literary and performance arts to the Philadelphia area for all who wish to enjoy innovative creativity at it's best. Nearly 100 years on Rittenhouse Square!
Now presenting Liebesfreud ("Last Fridays" Series) in an elegant 3rd floor Gallery 6 - 8 times a year.

Strings International Music Festival

The "Strings" Camp faculty, comprised of some of the world's finest musicians, has a passion for classical music. It is this passion, in fact, that has enabled them to develop into world-class musicians. It is the goal at the Strings International Music Festival to pass on to the student - through personal and group instruction - the energy, the enthusiasm, the intensity that set apart the superb player from the average -the extraordinary from the ordinary. Its chamber ensembles, sectionals, and solo performance hours, led by members of the Philadelphia Orchestra, "Liebesfreud" and other internationally-acclaimed musicians, give string players a taste of professional performance. This saturation in classical music education and performance can make a significant impact on the lives of promising performers. Young musicians FALL IN LOVE with classical music here!

A young music lover named Nora suggested we add this link to help other lovers of music understand the vocabulary musicians often use. So here it is. Thanks, Nora!
