Philadelphia Orchestra is a legendary company which is doing something very interesting for its 1999-2000 season.  To celebrate its 100-year anniversary, the company is presenting nothing but material that it has performed and made famous over the years.  This has never been done before and is definitely turning a few heads in the industry, as people are definitely receiving it very favorably.  Some of the highlights will include Rautavarra's Eighth Symphony, Gorecki's Symphony No. 3, and Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.  All of these performances will take place around April or May, and for more information just give them a call; they'll take care of you.
