Simulcasts of the Philadelphia Orchestra at Glen Echo Park
The Washington Conservatory is proud to present LIVE Simulcasts of the Philadelphia Orchestra from The Kimmel Center for Performing Arts in Philadelphia!
Subscription: Buy 5 concerts, get one free: 6 concerts - $50 (Single tickets $10, if available)
What makes the Philadelphia Orchestra Concert simulcasts special? Each Concert is produced in real-time using a state-of-the-art camera system choreographed to capture the fullness of the orchestra and the intimacy of the on-stage experience. You can see the emotion of the music through the eyes of the performers as they interpret a phrase, sense the passion of the work through the conductor's expressions or the sweep of a baton, be moved by the power of the piece. You are immersed in the performance, virtually seated with the orchestra members as they perform. In addition to the live performance, you will see behind-the-scenes interviews made available only to simulcast viewers.
Enjoy the casual setting of the new 75-seat recital room of the Washington Conservatory at Glen Echo Park to hear one of the world's greatest orchestras in a LIVE simulcast! Seating is limited - reserve your place for all concerts now! Subscribe Now
