Philadelphia Fringe Festival

This week features season openings by the Philadelphia Orchestra and The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, a variety of original performances, and more.

WRTI host Hannah Nicholas delivers her first Fanfare edition, featuring Dynasty Battles in a concert for his mentor, Leon Bates; 1807 & Friends performing music from Mozart, Nardini, and Paisiello; and an orchestral presentation of music from the hit video game 'Undertale.'

Fanfare returns from its summer hiatus, bringing you a number of performances from The Philadelphia Fringe Festival, one of Mozart's earliest operas, and more.

It's a new season on the classical concert calendar, and Fanfare is back in gear. John T.K. Scherch has this week's rundown, including Opening Night at The Philadelphia Orchestra.
