Clark Park

Author: Momish, Category: Free Events, Something to Do

Clark Park is one of my old time favorite nooks in the city, where I have spent many a days and nights hanging out.  You always meet so many different people there due to the diversity of the neighborhood and surrounding universities.  Plus, the name is fun to say.

Clark Park. Clark Park. Clark Park.

Tonight the Philadelphia Orchestra is giving a free performance in Clark Park at 7:00 PM.  This is part of their Free Neighborhood Concerts.  Tonight’s line up:

CHABRIER   España

BIZET   Suite No. 2 from Carmen

RIMSKY-KORSAKOV   Capriccio espagnol

MARQUEZ   Danzon No. 2

BARBER   “Hesitation-tango,” from Souvenirs

RAVEL   Bolero

There is just something about listening to classical music out in the wide open, under the stars.  Well OK, you got me there.  Not only is it daylight at 7 PM, but even if it were pitch black you probably wouldn’t see stars in West Philly.  But the music and atmosphere is sure to be great none-the-less. 

So if you find yourself with nothing to do, head on out to Clark Park.  Just can’t say that enough.
