Doors - 7:00 Sovei - 7:30 WXPN writes "For Sovei, music isn’t just about creating melodies or writing lyrics—it’s about making sense of complex emotions and experiences. Their approach to songwriting is deeply introspective, often starting with a feeling rather than a specific idea or theme." https://sovei.bandcamp.com/ Untethered Trio - 8:15 Untethered, a collective formed in the summer of 2024 plays what their drummer Grant Calvin Weston dubs, spontaneous creative composition. Their album “Grasping for the Moon” received critical acclaim and was featured as album of the day on Bandcamp in August "the music is in constant flux, opening up and tightening, cooling down and catching fire, riding stasis and exploding with hyperactive motion. " The Trio feature Paul Giess (Ropedope, Jamaaladeen) Calvin Weston (Ornette Coleman, Vernon Reid, John Modeski) and Timothy Ragsdale (Top call Philly bassist). https://paulgiessmusic.bandcamp.com/ Untethered Trio + Sovei + Lee Clarke - 9:15 a new adventure not to be missed ! Imagination Station Art + Fashion Market - Carl Trunk - website Carl Trunk (b. 1990) is an accomplished painter, video artist, and ceramicist. With a deep interest in science fiction and horror, he brings fantastical creatures and scenarios to life in a range of media. His ceramic work employs bold, hulking forms with delicate, tentacle detailing to animate beasts both invented and real. In his spare time, Trunk also creates interior decor from found objects. Gerald Brown - Instagram chicago bones, philly skin temple university mfa '27 i want my love to be my legacy Scott Procelli - website Scott Porcelli is a New Jersey native now living in West Philadelphia. He has been an active Teaching Artist for nine years working with organizations like the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Center for Creative Works, Allens Lane Art Center, and Second State Press. Paige Donovan - Website Over the past ten years, Donovan has developed an original approach to painting and drawing involving intricately textured marks. Largely focused on landscapes taken both from source imagery and her imagination, Donovan develops a sense of space and distance in her compositions through a dense accrual of small shapes. Her vocabulary of mark comes from a desire to invent new and different ways of manipulating her materials – from crow-quill pen and calligraphy ink to acrylic paint – as well as an almost meditative approach to her art practice, which she continues to hone and develop every day. Mary T Bevlock - Website My inspiration comes from books, shapes, my religion, and celebrities. My favorite material is colored pencils because none of the colors are alike, it feels like butter, with brighter colors. I like to blend because I get more colors that way. It feels great, wonderful, to make artwork, warm and happy feelings. So… magic. Magical. I like response to my paintings, from anybody, that feels really good. “ – MTB Tickets are $15-30.

In-person! Tri-Axium Theory and You - Unlocking the Music of Anthony Braxton
Tri-Axium Theory and You- Unlocking the Music of Anthony Braxton 12:00 PM Led by Erica Dicker, This workshop is dedicated to the exploration of the compositional/improvisational systems of Anthony Braxton. Led by tri-centric orchestra concertmaster Erica Dicker, This workshop is dedicated to the exploration of the compositional/improvisational systems of NEA Jazz Master Anthony Braxton. As much as we are trying to faithfully approach the work of the maestro, we will use this music as a springboard to unlocking our own creativity and unique approaches. In the course of these 3 hours- participants will learn how to spontaneously arrange music utilize Braxton’s Language Music, and have the opportunity to ask burning questions about score interpretation. The last half of the workshop will be dedicated to practicing the scores as a collective ensemble. For those up for the adventure, they will then perform the scores in the concert to follow in the evening. This workshop is open to all instrumentalists, composers, and “friendly experiencers.” The ability to play notated music is useful but not necessary for the enjoyment of the workshop. Instrumentalists in the workshop are required to bring their own amplification to play in the concert. There will not be use of the PA. Vocalists should bring their own mic and make arrangements prior to the workshop. Tickets are sliding scale $20-30, $30 Day of Show. Bios Violinist Erica Dicker works in a wide variety of musical settings, bridging the realms of notated and improvised music. Erica lends her creative voice to the Brandon Seabrook String Society, Blood Luxury, and her electro-acoustic trio Vaster Than Empires. Taking Auspices (Tubapede Records), her “knockout solo debut,” [Bandcamp Daily] features her own solo compositions for violin that explore extended techniques and alternate tunings, yielding music both familiar and strange. Erica is a founding member of the horn-trio Kylwyria. With hornist John Gattis and pianist Mabel Kwan, Kylwyria commissions adventurous chamber music for this unique instrumentation, enabling luminaries such as Eric Wubbels and Katherine Young to make invaluable contributions to the repertoire. Erica is, perhaps, best known for her work with composer and multi-instrumentalist Anthony Braxton as a performer and collaborator as well as an educational ambassador for Braxton’s non-profit Tri-Centric Foundation. Erica writes about and curates performances of Braxton’s work, most recently coaching members of Tactus (Manhattan School of Music) in performance practice and lecturing on analytical approaches to Braxton’s music at Columbia University. Additionally, Erica has toured with Braxton internationally, appearing at festivals such as Berlin Jazz Festival, Jazz Middelheim Festival (Belgium), Jantar Festival (Poland), Akbank Festivali (Turkey), Skopje Jazz Festival (Macedonia), the Venice Biennale, and Warsaw Autumn Festival. Praised for her rich sound and stylistic versatility, Erica is an invaluable recording artist and colleague. With pianist Karl Larson, Erica performed Morton Feldman’s epic, 80-minute for John Cage at the Jewish Museum in 2022 and had the honor of performing Braxton’s Composition No. 222 with pianist Cory Smythe at the Library of Congress in March of 2025. Notable releases on which she is featured include David Lang’s opera Anatomy Theater (Cantaloupe Music), Durand Jones and the Indications’ Private Space (Dead Oceans). Recent recordings include Contemporary Chaos Practices (Intakt Records) by Ingrid Laubrock, Concrete & Void (New Focus Recordings) with Wavefield Ensemble, Anna Webber’s Idiom (Pi Recordings), and Modney’s Ascending Primes (Pyroclastic Records). As an orchestral performer, Erica served as associate concertmaster of the Peoria Symphony, held section positions in regional orchestras in the Midwestern United States, Germany, and continues to perform with the Grand Rapids Symphony and the New York City Ballet Orchestra. Erica also enjoys her role as an instructor at Lehigh University and member of the Frequency String Quartet - the faculty chamber ensemble there. A proponent of new music, Erica collaborates with nascent composers of all ages and particularly enjoys her roles as artist in residence at the Walden School Young Musicians Program and Mostly Modern Festival. She holds degrees from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, the University of Minnesota and her doctoral degree from the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. She also attributes a significant part of her early musical education to the Illinois Wesleyan University college radio station 88.1 WESN (Radio to the Far Left) FM, reaching her in her hometown of Normal, Illinois.

Recurring weekly events happening every Saturday
2026-01-16📍 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.
