Making SOUND Waves


It's an exciting season at The Philadelphia Orchestra in 2010-11 and we are making waves about it!

Opening with Chief Conductor Charles Dutoit and violinist Joshua Bell through to the close with Berlioz's massive Damnation of Faust, this season brings to life an array of truly superb programs.

This season will also feature new and exciting directions including:
Sound Waves, a new multimedia series that finds connections with music, culture, and media.
Beyond the Score, which gives insights into the context of music through stunning visual and musical presentation.

The Orchestra's three spectacular programs at the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts (PIFA), a three-week, city-wide festival, including a collaboration with Pennsylvania Ballet.

The 2010-11 season, featuring several living composers as well as enduring masters and an impressive list of world-renowned conductors and guest artists, is not to be missed.
