What do Belmont Mansion and Underground Railroad Museum, NextFab, The Franklin Institute, AR Workshop of Chestnut Hill, Harriett’s Bookshop, Taller Puertorriqueño, Woodmere Art Museum, 23rd Street Armory, and the National Marian Anderson Museum all have in common? They’re just a few of the organizations with whom the Orchestra has collaborated during the Our City, Your Orchestra program.
