nominated, nine-time All-Ireland Fiddle Champion and former
Riverdance star did not disappoint!
These benefit concerts are relatively new to the Phil. In the past, we
hosted an annual gala to raise funds to close the gap between ticket
sales and operating costs. Then, in one of those aha- moments,
we decided to throw an even bigger bash by doing what we do
best: presenting concerts. In 2019, Will and Anthony Nunziata
performed Valentines on Broadway to a sold-out house of 1,200
fans and raised over $85,000 to support the Phil.
Sons of Serendip have headlined three concerts—including a
virtual one during the pandemic— to benefit the Phil. While these
concerts didn’t include the orchestra, they were very “instrumental”
in boosting our bottom line and our presence in the community.
The revenue generated has helped us maintain and build the Phil’s
musical programs and our own audience to keep us vibrant and
solvent in the years to come.
Bringing people together through music is what we do best. And,
bringing in world-class musicians every season allows us to have
more incredible musical experiences together!
