Online Event: First Friday From The Barnes Foundation In Philadelphia PA

May 1, 2020 - 6:00PM to 9:00PM EST

Update: In light of current events, our program has changed for this month’s First Friday.

Join us for a free entertaining, eclectic evening of classical music by contemporary composers! Tune in online for Unhinged, the first video-only performance by Orchestra 2001, featuring musicians playing from their own homes and other remote locations—making beautiful music together, while practicing social distancing.

Unhinged is inspired by Dr. Albert Barnes’s ensembles—his unconventional groupings of impressionist, modernist, African, Asian, ancient, and medieval art alongside wrought-iron door hinges and other metalwork—and even includes passages of percussion played on door hinges.

This event is online-only. Tune in to our Facebook page on Friday, April 3 at 6pm to watch!
