Pack a picnic and join us for our favorite summer tradition as The Philadelphia Orchestra, led by Xian Zhang, returns to TD Pavilion at Highmark Mann on July 21 for a Tchaikovsky Spectacular! We’ll begin the evening with Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1, with Eric Lu, First Prize and Gold Medal winner of the 2025 Chopin International Competition. Following intermission, the Orchestra will perform the Suite from The Sleeping Beauty. The original full-length ballet was given its United States premiere in Philadelphia in 1937. We’ll finish the evening with the rousing 1812 Overture, culminating in an epic display of fireworks against the gorgeous Philadelphia skyline!
