CITY HALL PRESENTS: FREE SUMMER CONCERTS
RETURN TO CITY HALL COURTYARD TODAY
Please join us this afternoon for the kickoff of this summer’s City Hall Presents concert series, featuring the spectacular Alô Brasil! The concerts, which take place Wednesdays from 5:30-6:30pm unless otherwise noted, welcome the full spectrum of Philadelphia’s performing arts into the City Hall Courtyard. Organized by the City of Philadelphia Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy, these events bring a new vibrancy to the historic building and inspire citizens to become more active in the arts. The program is made possible thanks to support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, as part of its Knight Arts Challenge, as well as the William Penn Foundation.
The series runs through August 28th. We encourage you to check out the calendar of performances below and RSVP for those that interest you, and look forward to seeing you in the courtyard this summer!
