We are very pleased to bring this single virtual concert to St. Paul’s, after the COVID pandemic caused the cancellation of the entire five-concert season in 2020-2021. Since 2011 the Five Fridays series has raised funds to benefit two local organizations that combat hunger and homelessness in NW Philadelphia. Thanks to support from generous sponsors, all ticket revenue and donations from this concert will be shared between Face to Face Germantown and Philadelphia Interfaith Hospitality Network.
$30 PURCHASE TICKETS
Reminders and an access link to the concert will be sent to registered ticket holders before the event, which will be available to view for one week following the premiere.
SPONSORS
Any sponsor – whether a business or an individual – contributing $100 or more will be acknowledged in the concert program, and will receive complimentary access to the concert. Scroll down for donation information.
