Join us on Sunday afternoons and Monday evenings to hear The Philadelphia Orchestra, led by Music and Artistic Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin, in concerts from Marian Anderson Hall at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts.
The ensemble has a venerable history of radio broadcasts, as the first orchestra with its own commercially sponsored national radio series, beginning in 1929 on NBC. This weekly series of radio broadcasts marks the return of the Orchestra to the airwaves. Melinda Whiting is our host, Alex Ariff is the senior producer, and Joseph Patti is the broadcast engineer.
Listen at 90.1 FM, on the WRTI mobile app, or on your smart speaker. And you can listen on-demand for up to two weeks via each episode's landing page or on WRTI Replay.
