PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — The Philadelphia Orchestra offered a lunchtime surprise a Reading Terminal Market Monday, featuring a brass quartet.
Orchestra CEO Matías Tarnopolsky said for their fourth annual Audience Appreciation Day, they're presenting 30 free concerts throughout the city all in one day.
The quartet played a mini mid-day pop-up concert, which bystander Antoinette enjoyed.
"It's a wonderful thing for the people that are here that wouldn't have the chance otherwise," she said.
