The Philadelphia Orchestra turns 125 on Sunday, November 16! To celebrate, we asked musicians and staff to share some of their favorite Orchestra memories with us. Chief Programming Officer Jeremy Rothman and Yannick learned the hard way that you should find out what’s on the other side of a wall before using it for baseball pitching drills.

Share your memories with the hashtag #PhilOrch125 and learn more about the 125-year history of Your Philadelphia Orchestra at philorch.org/125years.
