Orpheus Club of Philadelphia Christmas Concert
Orpheus Club of Philadelphia Christmas Concert
In a rare instance Philly Mag didn’t run my column in the February Issue because of a beautiful tribute to owner Herb Lipson who passed away. When my column resumes they’re not going to run three holiday columns; One of them is the beautiful Orpheus Club’s Christmas Concert. Photos from this event did run in Philly Style, CBS, and Philly Metro, but I wanted to include them here as many people attending read PhillyChitChat they told me.
Welcome to our 146th season of great music, hearty laughter and good friends! Our three formal concerts will make special evenings for all, delivering festive performances with a touch of Old Philadelphia grace and charm.
Under the leadership of John Shankweiler, we are proud to offer new music and a continual influx of young, talented singers, blended with the songs and performers that are Orpheus favorites.
