Philadelphia Orchestra and 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".

The Philadelphia Orchestra, led by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, excels in classical music, fostering joy and connection in Philadelphia and worldwide through diverse programs.
