Fanfare

This week begins on the Ides of March, and there's a bit of heaviness in some of the sung works. There are also big stars in town, video game music, and the first of a series of concerts among the art at Philadelphia's newest museum.

This week's offerings on the classical concert scene promise something for every taste and every age.

Even though it seems like winter just won't quit, our region always enjoys a spring rush of concert activity. Fanfare has the latest, including a Baroque devotional program from Variant Six and Filament.

Although Valentine's Day has passed, the love of music remains, bringing us a wide range of performances this week.

Valentine's Day is fast approaching. Luckily, this week is offering plenty of opportunities to see some lovely performances from a number of heavy hitters. Make it a date!

Although the snowstorm is over, this week's edition of Fanfare forecasts a flurry of exciting musical performances.

From a benefit organized by a world-class pianist to a starring role for a 2,000-year-old Chinese instrument, this weeks options in Fanfare reflect the diversity of the City of Brotherly Love.

The first Fanfare of the new year features Mendelssohn and Mahler — plus Baroque, chamber, and opera performances across Philadelphia.

This week's Fanfare features the Chamber Orchestra of Europe with violinist Veronika Eberle, the Lorelei Ensemble, the Julliard String Quartet with pianist Marc-André Hamelin and more.

December drops us into a holiday bounty, with Lyric Fest's Fascinating Rhythm, Philadelphia Ballet's production of The Nutcracker, Carols by Candlelight and more.
