This Valentine’s Day, give the classical music buff in your life a gift that makes up for last year’s gift of tickets to see Composerbot, the music-composing automaton that went “a little caca” immediately after completing its Ninth Symphony and devoured an innocent Ford Tempo. Today’s deal gets you a seat at your choice of three differentPhiladelphia Orchestra performances at Verizon Hall in the Kimmel Center, with second-tier, front or center orchestra, and first-tier box seats available for all three shows. Prices start at $34 for second-tier seats ($71 value), go up to $47 for front or center orchestra seats ($96 value), and end at $52 for box seats ($106 value).
You’ll have your choice of three stellar performances:
- On Friday, January 15, at 8 p.m., enjoy “Mattila Debuts”. For this show, Finnish soprano Karita Mattila will be singing Strauss’s Four Last Songs, Martinu’s Symphony no. 3, and the Adagio from Mahler’s Tenth.
- On Valentine’s Day at 2 p.m., Andrey Boreyko will be conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra through “The Firebird”, featuring Barber’s Night Flight, Chopin’s second piano concerto, Kancheli’s “Morning Prayers,” and Stravinsky’s legendary Firebird suite.
- On Friday, February 18, at 8 p.m., conductor Rossen Milanov will be at the helm for “Philadelphia Premieres”, which features a little Barber and Rachmaninoff, as well as Richard Danielpour’s A Woman’s Life, which focuses on the life of American soprano Angela Brown.
If you can’t decide, then don’t. You can buy Groupons for all three concerts. Verizon Hall can house hundreds, so buy one for everyone in your scrappy, punk-rock marching orchestra.
You must bring your Groupon to the box office at least 48 hours ahead of your chosen show to receive your seats.

Chamber Orchestra announces All-Haydn
 The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphiaopens its 45th Anniversary Season with All-Haydn Conductor’s Podium to be dedicated in memory of Concert pair generously sponsored by Centocor Music Director Ignat Solzhenitsyn conducts; |

| The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, a founding resident company of theKimmel Center for the Performing Arts, announces the first concert pair of its 45th Anniverary Season. All-Haydn on September 20 and 21st features Wendy Warner in Haydn’s Cello Concerto in D Major. The Orchestra will also perform Symphonies Nos. 16 and 49, with Music Director Ignat Solzhenitsyn conducting in the Kimmel Center’s intimate Perelman Theater.
Said Maestro Solzhenitsyn of the upcoming concerts: “We open our season together with the marvelous Wendy Warner, in a celebration of Josef Haydn that ranges across the inexhaustible panoply of his mercurial moods.” The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia is honored to announce the dedication of the Dr. Hubert J.P Schoemaker Memorial Conductor’s Podium during its season-opening concert. Dr. Schoemaker, a friend and supporter of Maestro Solzhenitsyn and the orchestra, was a leading biotechnology scientist and entrepreneur. Dr. Schoemaker co-founded Centocor, one of the world’s first biotechnology companies, as well as Neuronyx, a development stage stem cell therapy company. Dr. Schoemaker’s energy and inspiration catalyzed the region’s biotechnology and venture capital industries. Beyond his commitment to science, he was also a devoted patron of the arts. In appreciation of his extraordinarily accomplished life, the orchestra is proud to name the Conductor’s Podium in his memory. “Speaking, I know, for the Board, staff and all the musicians of The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, we are so honored to have the opportunity to express our gratitude for the exceptionally generous support of Dr. Hubert J. P. Schoemaker by naming our Conductor’s Podium after him,” said William H. Roberts, President of the Chamber Orchestra. “Dr. Schoemaker has made a lasting impact through his generosity and enthusiasm for music, and particularly for the work of the Chamber Orchestra, and this dedication is an appropriate way to preserve the memory of his care for musical excellence and his ardent efforts to help the Chamber Orchestra achieve it.” |
