Philadelphia Premieres

Philadelphia has always been a city of firsts.

From groundbreaking ideas and historic moments to artistic innovation, our city has helped shape the cultural life of America. Philadelphia Premieres celebrates that spirit through a program of remarkable works connected to the city's rich musical heritage.

Featuring Andrea Clearfield's Psalms alongside selections from Handel's Messiah, presented in recognition of the anniversary of its Philadelphia premiere, this concert explores the creative forces that have made Philadelphia an enduring center for artistic expression. The program highlights music that bridges past and present, honoring traditions while embracing new voices and perspectives.

At Singing City, we believe that great art helps communities better understand themselves. Philadelphia Premieres celebrates the city's cultural legacy while inviting audiences to experience the transformative power of choral music performed at the highest artistic level.
