Join us this week to hear the Philadelphia premiere of Julia Wolfe's Pretty. The piece, which was co-commissioned by the Orchestra and Yannick Nézet-Séguin, celebrates American music—from fiddling to rock and roll—and explores the multifaceted meaning behind what it means to be “pretty.” This weekend will mark the first time the ensemble will perform a work by the Philadelphia native.
