Opening Night at the Phil Orch

[Ben Rose]

My wife and I attended the Phil Orch's season opening last night. The final piece was Respighi's Pines of Rome and the sound coming out of the bass section was incredible. Between 8 basses, brass, and the organ, my chair was vibrating, but the sound was still well balanced and bright. It was a very dramatic and emotional experience.

Two thumbs up for a brilliant performance! They truly are a world class orchestra and a treasure that everyone in the Philadelphia area should take advantage of.
