| Painted Bride Art Center proudly presents Big Ears, an ambitious residency program that brings together New York-based drummer/composer John Hollenbeck with a dozen Philadelphia jazz musicians. A call to artists, followed by a rigorous selection process, has yielded a group of local artists that transects age, gender, ethnicity, and musical heritage. The program concludes on March 6 with the premiere of new music that Hollenbeck has composed for the group. Discover the process behind Big Ears at BigEarsPhilly.com, where you can watch video interviews with all of the musicians, read their blog posts, listen to audio samples, and submit your own comments.
This Friday is also First Friday, so you can walk around the Old City/ Northern Liberties area to check out the gallery openings. I suggest referring to: (once the other sites are updated for march, I’ll include the link here, I promise).
DINNER: Triumph Brewing Company is a fave. How could you not love a brewery that has great food and a posh atmosphere? Located right in Old City at 2nd and Chestnut, Triumph is in a great location for bar-hopping and gallery hopping on First Friday. AND with a site like www.phillyhalfoff.com making gift certificates half off, how can you go wrong?
