An Evening of Music With Philadelphia Orchestra Members in Wayne

Wrap up a beautiful spring weekend with glorious music!

Join us in person or via live stream for the Philadelphia International Music Festival "Winners' Circle Concert" on Sunday, March 27th at 7:00pm at historic Valley Forge Military Academy & College, 1001 Eagle Road in Wayne, Pennsylvania. The concert is dedicated to relief efforts for the valiant people of Ukraine and a portion of the proceeds will go to organizations that support those efforts.

Performers will include Juliette Kang, First Associate Concertmaster of The Philadelphia Orchestra; John Koen, Cello, The Philadelphia Orchestra; Grammy-nominated pianist, Mark Livshits; and six incredible competition winners and finalists from past Philadelphia International Music Festival competitions.

The showcase for these superb young musicians has been delayed until now because of pandemic restrictions. While usually an in-person feature of PIMF’s summer programs, the Covid-inspired online version of its acclaimed Concerto Competition is now a recurring event that draws video-taped submissions from all over the world. Student participants are recent winners from both versions over the past 3 years.

Tickets are $10 for in-person viewing (at VFMAC) and $12 for livestream viewing. Livestream tickets are valid for family and/or group viewing.
