1ListenYourWay...TheCelebration CollectionThe concerts in our Celebration Collection bring you (and your friends) a variety of ways to listen and enjoy symphonic music in all its glory. The more you hear, the more you will enjoy.

TheMasterworks CollectionGreat music by great composers. Each concert in our Masterworks Collection features enduring classics and time-honored master-pieces with some of the world’s best star soloists and conductors.

For some of us music is like an old friend, engaging and familiar, solid and true. For others, music is experiential, quickening our heartbeat, with new works and undiscovered perspectives.

Music can calm, or provide uplifting inspiration. For others, it’s all about thrill and excitement. Some of us know exactly what we like, others are eager for new discoveries, short works, long works, old, new – it’s all a matter of preference and desire.

The Philadelphia Orchestra introduces Concert Collections for the 2008-09 season to help you find the concert experience that is right for you.

TheConnoisseur CollectionThe Connoisseur Collection brings together concerts of some of the most moving and inspiring works to engage the mind and fill the heart with musical pleasure.
