Staff update!

We are so thrilled to welcome Dan Virgen to our team as our new Community Education Coordinator!

Dan Virgen (b. 2002) is a Philadelphia-based composer and multi-instrumentalist and a graduate of the Boyer College of Music and Dance at Temple University, where he earned a BM in Music Composition. His work spans a wide range of chamber and large ensemble settings, including pieces for string quartet, mixed chamber ensembles, vocal works, and electroacoustic instrumentation.

As a performer, Dan is active across a variety of musical spaces, performing double bass in orchestral and jazz settings, euphonium and trombone in brass and wind ensembles, and electric bass within Philadelphia’s DIY music scene. He is deeply influenced by contemporary classical music, jazz, and alternative rock, and is especially drawn to genre-fluid collaboration.

We are looking forward to working with Dan!

WOW! Since our last writing, we have far surpassed our goal of raising $5,000 and are well on our way to completing the Daniel W. Dietrich II Foundation Challenge. Thank you so much for getting us that much closer to our overall goal of $60,000 raised during this fiscal year!

As promised - here is the identity of our mystery composer…

Steven Crino is a composer devoted to telling resonant and contemporary stories through emotionally rich and intimate music. His music has been described as “stunningly beautiful, heartfelt, lush, and delicate.” We can't wait to commission a new work from him to be featured on our 2026-2027 season!

Can you help us raise the remaining $7,500 in time for our upcoming concert this Sunday? Just think - if we complete our fundraising initiatives by then, we won't have to send you any more fundraising emails until our next fiscal year. Sounds like a great start to the summer if you ask us!
