Thee Phantom & Illharmonic Orchestra

Thee Phantom & Illharmonic Orchestra, originating from Philadelphia, blends hip-hop with live orchestral accompaniment, pioneering a "B-Boy meets Beethoven" style. Led by Jeffrey M. McNeill (Thee Phantom) and Andrea McNeill (The Phoenix), they are known for energetic performances. They were the first hip-hop act to perform at Philadelphia's Kimmel Center and among the first to headline Carnegie Hall. Notable works include "Storming the Bastille" and "Maniac Maestro".
