The Philadelphia Orchestra announces a new concert series, Orchestra After 5, taking place right after the workday on three Thursdays throughout the 2023–24 season: February 1, April 4, and May 2, 2024. Featuring classical concerts in a casual atmosphere, the series puts a modern twist on the traditional Orchestra experience. Audiences will gain a new perspective on the concert experience through live video close-ups of the conductors and soloists at work projected on a large screen behind the Orchestra. Engaging informational content about the music will also be highlighted on the screen, providing context to the works as they are performed. In addition, audiences will enjoy pre-concert activities beginning at 5:00 PM, light bites and happy hour cocktails, and post-concert conversations with musicians of the Orchestra and guest artists. Tickets for the Orchestra After 5 series start at $21. Pre-sale tickets are available now, and tickets will go on sale to the public on Friday, October 27. 

　　Performances will include a pairing of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and Piazzolla’s The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires, led by Xian Zhang and featuring Concertmaster David Kim as soloist (February 1); András Schiff serving as conductor and soloist for Haydn’s Piano Concerto in D major and Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 27 (April 4); and Leif Ove Andsnes performing Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 under the baton of Lahav Shani (May 2).
