The Philadelphia Orchestra will be participating in a food drive on March 27th and 28th along with 160 other American orchestras. Orchestras Feeding America is the first initiative of its kind, and while it's national in scope all of the food collected will go directly to Philabundance, a local charity organization.
Just bring your non-perishable food items to the box office on either the 27th or the 28th one hour before the performance and receive a $25 ticket for that concert. For more information click here.
