633 upcoming #Music events in the city

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. Principal Cello Hai-Ye Ni takes center stage for Haydn ’ s Cello Concerto No. 2. These concerts are part of the Ellenberg Philadelphia Orchestra Soloist Spotlight Series.

Rotating jazz trios play Thursday through Saturday from 6–9 p.m. at Time Restaurant on Sansom Street. A $5 per-person music charge supports the musicians directly. The venue offers three distinct spaces: a dining room, a whiskey bar with 200+ bottles, and an upstairs Bohemian Absinthe Lounge. Laid-back cocktail-lounge atmosphere in historic Old City.

Thursday nights from 7:30–10 p.m. at this Bella Vista cocktail bar from the Two Robbers vodka-soda team. The Lodge opened July 2025 in the former Hawthornes space at 11th and Fitzwater, with wood-paneled walls designed to feel like an actual countryside lodge. No cover. Rotating jazz trios complement the 20-drink cocktail list, including the Two Robbers World Famous Martini (dirty, with thyme-rosemary-fennel infused olive brine). Weekend brunch, pub burger from Pat LaFrieda blend.

Live jazz fills the Whiskey Room every Thursday from 7–9:30 p.m. at this Northern Liberties gastropub. According to Philadelphia Magazine, the bar itself is a repurposed altar from a decommissioned church at 10th and Green Streets. Bourbon & Branch specializes in whiskey—offering 70+ varieties in one-ounce pours—alongside comfort food like lamb bourguignon shepherd's pie. Half-price Whiskey Wednesdays the night before make for an easy two-night visit.
