Kickin’ it orchestral style: Broadway Showstoppers
A new season of performances by Philly Pops should always be on your list of things to do in Philadelphia. For thirty years, Peter Nero and and his orchestra have seemed to be immune from taking a wrong step as they mix popular classics and new favorites with a unique style and flair that keeps [...]

Please do NOT throw the scat: Wild Adventure Program
The howler monkeys are here! The howler monkeys are here! Get one for the house and you can throw all the alarm clocks away, that’s for sure. But we’re not here to talk about howler monkeys. We’re not even here to talk about the raucous parrots that used to live outside my window and wake [...]

Plan a visit between September 4th and October [...]
I will not go for the cheap laugh: Music Wrap Up
