Classical Saturday | Marja Kaisla and the Trio Excelsior!
Pianist Marja Kaisla returns to Woodmere with the Trio Excelsior! They will perform three exciting piano trios spanning nearly 200 years of musical innovation including: Beethoven's expansive masterpiece the Archduke Trio; Enrique Granados's Trio, representing a kaleidoscope of gorgeous themes in late romantic European style and Spanish dance; and the insane but super fun rollercoaster ride by Paul Schoenfield, Café Music, in which the composer combines jazz, folk, gypsy, Dixieland, ragtime and modern writing with highest virtuosic demands for all three instruments. Admiration for each other's musicianship and great friendship inspired Marja Kaisla, Elina Snellman-Lang, and Yevgeniy Dyo to form Trio Excelsior! Beyond the sheer joy of playing together, they use the rich and intimate piano trio repertoire to further explore their connection to music and one another. Trio Excelsior! brings this shared experience to audiences of all ages, offering a unique window into the lives of great composers and the ways in which they expressed the essence of human existence through their music. The ensemble's name, Excelsior!, embodies what their goals as musicians are, "still higher!" $28 ($18 Members*) *Members need to be logged in to receive their benefit of discounted music tickets.

2026-01-23📍 East ParkFriday Night Lounge
Friday Night Lounge transforms the Philadelphia Museum of Art into an evening destination with live music, gallery access, and drinks, offering a different perspective on one of America's great cultural institutions. The museum's origins trace to the 1876 Centennial Exposition, when Philadelphia hosted the nation's 100th birthday celebration in Fairmount Park. Nearly 10 million visitors experienced the world's fair, and afterward, the art gallery in Memorial Hall became the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art—founded to train craftsmen and elevate American design. As collections grew through major bequests, the museum required grander quarters, and in 1928 the current Greek Revival building opened atop Fairmount hill, designed collaboratively by Horace Trumbauer, Paul Cret, and the firm of Zantzinger, Borie, and Medary, with perspective drawings by Julian Abele, one of few opportunities for an African American architect at the time. The building's monumental steps, later immortalized in the Rocky films, lead to over 240,000 objects spanning 2,000 years of creative achievement. Friday evenings invite visitors to experience masterworks from Thomas Eakins to Marcel Duchamp alongside contemporary performances, extending the museum's founding democratic mission of bringing art to the public.
