EMERGING MARKETS

An ongoing project, with major support provided by The William Penn Foundation.

Launched in May 2020, EMERGING MARKETS is a series of informal musical events presented where Philadelphians shop, work, and play. Aimed at breaking down barriers to attendance, Orchestra 2001 tailors performances for markets and businesses in all corners of Philadelphia. For example, concerts at the 9th Street Market featured music by Italian, Mexican, Southeast Asian, and African-American composers, representative of that community, and Philadelphia premieres of Chinese composer Tan Dun’s Prayer and Blessings for the Victims of COVID-19.
