Join us at the scenic Fairmount Water Works promenade gazebo for a special performance from Timberdale Brass, Philadelphia’s premiere brass ensemble. In honor of Jazz Appreciation Month, Timberdale Brass swings into spring with jazz tunes and jazz inspired arrangements guaranteed to keep the audience smiling and coming back for more! Selections will range from early 20th-century hot jazz to mid-century big band favorites to hard swinging arrangements of American Songbook standards by the likes of Ellington, Gershwin, and Porter.
Limited seating will be provided so we encourage you to bring your own lawn chair or picnic blanket and bring your own food and refreshments.
