Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4
Passion defined Tchaikovsky ’ s life, and the tempests of his emotional life inspired some of the most beautiful music ever written. His Fourth Symphony took shape during a troubled time and encompasses heartbreaking swings between despair and exuberant hope . It is led here by an audience favorite, the “ expressive and imaginative ” Xian Zhang. The concert opens with Britten's Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Purcell*, perhaps more well-known as The Young Person ’ s Guide to the Orchestra , but heard here in its version without narration.

These concerts are part of the Ellenberg Philadelphia Orchestra Soloist Spotlight Series.

Fire Museum Presents:
Miramar
:
Miramar reimagines the Latin bolero and carries the torch of bolero beat—a genre that rose to international fame in the 1960s by blending nostalgic ballads with psychedelic rock, bossa nova, funk, jazz, and more. An offshoot of the acclaimed indie-salsa band Bio Ritmo, Miramar was one of the first Latin bands to perform on NPR’s
Tiny Desk
and has since introduced its unique take on bolero to audiences worldwide, releasing music on two of Brooklyn’s most iconic independent labels: Barbès and Daptone Records. Their latest album,
Entre Tus Flores
, released on the historic tropical label Ansonia Records, was hailed by
Staf Magazine
(Spain) as “one of the greatest discoveries of recent years,” and praised by
Lira Magazine
(Sweden) as “crazy, updated, odd – and irresistible.
”Miramar’s undeniable magic lies in the chemistry between vocalist-songwriter Rei Álvarez and the “gran voz de la diva,” Laura Ann Singh. Their “heartbreaking vocals suck in every nerve” (
Lira
), and they “harmonize with such precision and grace that it’s hard to imagine a day when they didn’t sing together” (
Style Weekly
). The Álvarez–Singh duo is supported by a lush, dreamlike soundscape arranged by bandleader Marlysse Simmons-Argandoña, who alternates between piano and combo organs. As a full band, Miramar also includes Gary Kalar on electric guitar, Giustino Riccio on percussion, Dan Martinez on bass and occasional collaborates with string quartets and symphony orchestras. Its core members and collaborators are based between Richmond, San Juan, and Brooklyn.
Admission is FREE, donations appreciated!

co headliner
Ira Khonan Temple
(based in NYC)
Boston trombonist Michael Prentky is bringing his 12-piece orchestra across the Northeast U.S. and Canada, performing his debut genre-defying album.
From January 17 - February 28th 2026, Boston-based trombonist Michael Prentky will tour his debut album,
sad boy:ADD:apocalypse
, across the Northeast U.S. and Canada. His orchestra includes a string quartet, 4 trombones, tuba, and rhythm section. Prentky will conduct, play trombone, sing, and recite original poetry. In addition to performing the entire album, Prentky will be premiering new original Klezmer compositions. He’s bringing a fresh perspective to Klezmer music with his high-energy trombone band and harmonically-rich compositions while staying rooted in Klezmer traditions. He'll be teaching audiences traditional corresponding Yiddish line dancing, such as the
zhouk
(aka
hora
) and
terkisher
,
with the intention of reviving endangered dance steps.
Tour dates include La Sotterennea (Montreal, QC), The Phoenix Gallery (Waterbury, VT), AS220 (Providence, RI), Stone Circle Theater (NYC), the Rotunda (Philadelphia, PA), and ZUMIX (Boston). At various shows, Prentky will be joined by
Kallisto

Ira Khonen Temple
, and
Jose Soto’s the Ancestral Call
.
“The subject matter is intense, but Prentky’s music is as satisfying as it is daring” – Noah Schaffer WBUR
It’s an “adventurous extravaganza… Frank Zappa would’ve loved it” – Mike Greenblatt, Beyond Genre, Goldmine Magazine

About
sad boy:ADD:apocalypse
:
Six years in the making, Boston trombonist Michael Prentky’s debut album,
sad boy:ADD:apocalypse,
is an epic, Zappa-esque suite for small orchestra – string quartet, four trombones and rhythm section. This mammoth odyssey is Prentky’s unwavering commitment to authenticity. The writing is lush, emotive and cathartic. Prentky’s sonic worlds showcase his eclectic interests: dreamy Beach House guitar riffs, avant-pop orchestral strings, breakbeat klezmer, pacific brass chorales, confessional poetry and raucous instrumental frenzies. Prentky conducts the orchestra, plays trombone, sings, and recites original poetry.
About Michael Prentky:
Michael Prentky’s freelancing on trombone can be summarized in three words – chameleon, omnivore and polyglot. Navigating performances with rapper 50 Cent, Mozambican Funk band Kina Zoré (featured on NPR Tiny Desk), avante-garde jazz with the Walking Cliché Sextet, or Balkan Romani music with Sarma Brass Band requires an adventurous and flexible musicianship. It’s this musical synthesis that Prentky crystallizes in his artistic debut,

In-person! Screening: Variations V and RainForest David Tudor/Merce Cunningham collaborations on Film, Part 1
Bowerbird
presents Screening: Variations V and RainForest David Tudor/Merce Cunningham collaborations on Film, Part 1
David Tudor’s musical partnership with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company spanned nearly five decades, from the company’s founding in 1953 until Tudor’s death in 1996. As a founding member, Tudor served not only as a virtuoso performer of revolutionary piano works but also as an essential collaborator in shaping the company’s sonic identity. Working alongside John Cage, Gordon Mumma, Christian Wolff, and Takehisa Kosugi, Tudor helped pioneer a radical approach to the relationship between sound and movement—one in which music and dance coexisted independently yet in the same time and space. This screening, the first of two film programs dedicated to Tudor’s work with the Cunningham company, presents “Variations V” (1965) and “RainForest” (1968).
PROGRAM:
Variations V (1966) | 49:05, black & white, sound, 16 mm film on video
Choreography: Merce Cunningham. Director: Arne Arnbom. Music: John Cage, “Variations V.” performed by Cage, David Tudor, and Gordon Mumma. Distortion of TV images: Nam June Paik. Film images: Stan VanDerBeek.
RainForest (1968) | 28 min, color, sound, digital transfer
Filmed by D.A. Pennebaker (Leacock and Pennebaker) as part of the 1968 Buffalo Arts Festival’s program “Who’s Afraid of the Avant-Garde.” Choreography: Merce Cunningham. Music: David Tudor, “Rainforest.” Costumes: Jasper Johns. Sets: Andy Warhol.
ABOUT THE FILMS
First composed and performed in 1965, Variations V is a true testament to 1960’s experiments with “intermedia”—a coexistence and cutting across of artistic genres that profoundly informed Cunningham’s choreographic practice. Video is materially integrated into the performance, with projections by Stan VanDerBeek and overlaid TV distortions by Nam June Paik enveloping the dancers. Twelve sound-sensitive electronic poles dot the stage; sound is triggered by the dancers’ movements and then altered or delayed by the musicians. Variations V predates Cunningham’s “video-dances,” demonstrating a different moment in his relation to the technology.
A kind of explicit, corporeal engagement with video as medium is reflected in the performance’s sound component. Sound, like video, exists in this dance visually and even kinetically. The viewer of this 1966 archival performance gains access to the locus of sound production, seeing John Cage and David Tudor perched over a wide spread of electronic equipment. Cunningham pays attention to the musicians’ movements in his 1968 book Changes: Notes on Choreography, their “constant scuttling” moving “back and forth on the platform to fix things, wiring that came out, a plug, etc.” The performance moves dialectically between its phenomenological whole and the “varied” elements of sound, video and dance that constitute it.
Unlike most of Cage and Cunningham’s collaborations, sound and movement are more technically codependent than autonomous in Variations V. Cunningham writes in Changes, “John decided to find out if there might not be ways that sound could be affected by movement, and he and David Tudor proceeded to find out that there were.”

Pablo Sáinz-Villegas
It seems impossible that just six strings could evoke so many moods, from heartbreak to fiery passion — but in the hands of a master the classical guitar touches the soul. Undoubtedly the most virtuosic guitarist of his generation, Pablo Sáinz-Villegas is such a master. He is acclaimed by the international press as the sucessor to the great Andres Segovia, hailed by his countryman Placido Domingo as unequalled, and has thrilled audiences in more than 40 countries, including performances with such orchestras as the Israel Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra, and the National Orchestra of Spain. His performance with the Philadelphia Orchestra in 2024 was a revelation, drawing ovations from the audience and orchestra.
Now you can hear this brilliantly gifted, deeply emotional artist in an intimate solo performance in the Perelman Theater. Seating is limited, so order your tickets now!
Pablo Sáinz-Villegas's appearance is sponsored by Arthur Alan Wolk.
