Orchestra violinist Davyd Booth spreads some holiday cheer with his memories of another Philadelphia Orchestra tradition: the Glorious Sound Of Christmas
PA State Representative Dwight Evans, the visionary behind the Orchestra’s annual concerts at MLK High School, explains his continued support for this project and its particular relevance in this historic election year, while Philadelphia Orchestra President and CEO James Undercofler gives the Orchestra's own perspective
The Philadelphia Orchestra would like you to note that due to the holiday break, the January episode of Podchestra will be released on January 15, a week later than normal. We wish all our listeners a very happy holiday!
