First Friday at the Barnes

Enjoy an evening of art, live music, cocktails, and light fare at The Barnes' monthly First Friday mixer.

This April 3rd experience features Philadelphia’s own Black Pearl Chamber Orchestra, led by acclaimed conductor Jeri Lynne Johnson. Celebrating the seminal Black Composer Series, originally released on vinyl in the 1970s and reissued in 2019, this performance is part of a new concert series highlighting Black artists in classical music. Between performances, Johnson will engage the guest artists in a lively conversation about the works.
