The Philadelphia Orchestra turns 125 on November 16, 2025, and we will celebrate the anniversary throughout the entire 2025–26 season! The biggest stars in classical music will join us for an unforgettable season that both honors our past and looks boldly to the future. We will celebrate 125 years of artistry and innovation with performances of masterpieces that were given their world or U.S. premiere by the Orchestra, new commissions from some of the most celebrated contemporary composers, and works by historically underrepresented composers and their American peers. We hope you will plan to join us as we celebrate the Orchestra’s essential place in American musical life! For more information, visit the link in our bio.

One week ago today, our very own Music and Artistic Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin was inducted into the Philadelphia Music Alliance’s Walk of Fame—a fitting recognition of the indelible mark he has made on this city’s cultural life. Yannick’s plaque is located right outside the main entrance of the Kimmel Center. Congratulations, Yannick!

What a weekend! The Orchestra, Yannick, and Aaron Diehl gave the world premiere of Philadelphia-based composer Tyshawn Sorey’s piano concerto titled For Marilyn Crispell, and it was absolutely incredible.
The title of the piece reflects Sorey’s collaborative relationship and admiration for Crispell, the avant-garde jazz pianist and fellow Philadelphian whom he has described as a lifelong inspiration. Bravo!

We are saddened to learn of the passing of composer and cellist Cris Derksen. Philadelphia audiences last experienced her work in March 2024, when she performed her own Controlled Burn at the Kimmel Center alongside the Orchestre Métropolitain with Artistic Director and Principal Conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin. Our thoughts are with her family and all who loved her.
Aaron Diehl performs the world premiere of Tyshawn Sorey’s piano concerto titled For Marilyn Crispell—a concerto that asks something beautiful of its listeners: patience, presence, and reflection—with the Orchestra and Yannick May 15–16. For more information, visit the link in our bio.

Tomorrow evening at Leo, we invite you to continue the journey of Postcards from Spain with a curated selection of Spanish wines thoughtfully paired to complement this week’s Orchestra After 5 performance with The Philadelphia Orchestra.
Featuring:
🥂 Isaac Fernández Selección “Biutiful” Cava Brut Nature
🍃 Artomana Xarmant Txakoli
🌸 Bodegas Ostatu Rioja Rosado
🍷 Luna Beberide Bierzo Mencía
“Carefully identified to accompany this week’s Orchestra After 5 program, titled “Postcards from Spain”, this selection of wines represent a formidable (if brief) survey of some of the best “hidden gems” Spanish wine has to offer. Among them are the easy-going, melodious white Txakoli—a unique Basque wine chosen as a nod to Maurice Ravel’s own Basque heritage—, and the complex and expressive red Mencía wine from Bierzo, a fine accompaniment to the stylized drama of Bizet’s Carmen. Lighter in texture and density, both the sparkling Cava and the rosado from Rioja represent contemporary takes on more traditional styles—much as De Falla adapted his own culture’s musical traditions to meet the idioms of 20th-century orchestral composition.”
