West Philadelphia Orchestra's 2009 Concert History

Drums moving your feet like an earthquake, trumpet notes slicing the air like circus knives, saxophones wailing in outrage and joy, tenor horns rootsy like home-grown tomatoes, a tuba belching bass lines like a dyspepsic diety, and suddenly the celebraton spreads and bodies break into dance. Welcome to a West Philly Orchestra party. West Philadelphia Orchestra (WPO) is a large revolving-door band, a community, with brass, percussion, vocals, and sometimes strings.
