Cheap orchestral classics and explosive improvs
Here at Swarthmore, we want culture and we don’t want to pay extra for it. Fair enough. But if you’re willing to shell out the cash for a movie ticket, you might also consider seeing the world-renowned Philadelphia Orchestra play at the Kimmel Center (260 South Broad Street). If you show up 1.5 hours prior to concert start time with I.D. in hand, general admission tickets are only $8.
While keeping your eye on the Orchestra’s upcoming offerings, see if you can’t get yourself into Philly this weekend for some art and jazz at the Painted Bride Art Center (230 Vine Street). After kicking off the weekend with a First Friday art exhibition and performance from British choreographer Siobhan Davies, the Painted Bride will present the Dave Holland Quintet. Since hitting the big time with Miles Davis’ electric band in the late ‘60s, Holland has been one of the foremost bassists in jazz. Equally renowned for his skills as a bassist, composer and bandleader, the many manifestations of Holland’s core group are among the most consistent around.
