SUMMER CONCERT SERIES

In July, WE JAM! Our outdoor summer concert series returns as Garden Jams, a low-key, high-chill, al fresco scene in Stoner Courtyard at the rose-gold hour. Unwind to world music by local Philly bands. Grab small bites and sips from food trucks and a garden bar fully stocked with wine, beer, and non-alcoholic refreshments.

Malidelphia is a folkloric performance art ensemble that bridges the African immigrant and African-American communities through traditional and contemporary songs, dance, music, masquerade, and folklore. Comprised of African and African American professional artists, singers, dancers, and folklorists, their work is inspired by Ira Bond and his experiences in Mali while growing up in Philadelphia. The name Malidelphia refers to the connection between Malian and Philadelphian cultural art forms such as jazz, blues, Afropop, hip-hop, and percussion. This project provides an opportunity for African and African American populations to communicate, find commonalities, and enjoy shared musical lineages.
