West Philadelphia Orchestra w/ Code: Blue
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11
Manny’s Live Performance Space
West Philadelphia Orchestra brings the full force of Balkan brass to the stage, pulling from Romani brass traditions and Eastern European music while folding in jazz, funk, soul, and the sounds of Philadelphia. The band got its start in West Philly in 2006, initially playing parks, street festivals and neighborhood events. Nearly two decades later, their repertoire stretches from traditional Serbian and Macedonian music and Philly klezmer to New Orleans brass, free jazz, punk, soul, hip hop and ska, while incorporating original music.
Opening the night is CODE: BLUE, a homegrown 8-piece roots blues, soul and R&B band. Code: Blue first emerged locally in the early 1990s, touring throughout Pennsylvania and appearing at festivals including Philadelphia’s Penn’s Landing Jambalaya Jam, Harrisburg’s Riverfront Arts Festival and the Johnstown Flood City Music Festival. The group reunited in 2023 and has been performing throughout the region again since.
