About the Event
Enjoy an evening of art, live music, cocktails, and light fare at our monthly First Friday mixer.
Tonight’s performance features the genre-defying sounds of Küf Knotz & Christine Elise, a dynamic duo blending hip-hop, soul, classical, and new age influences. Named best rapper in Philadelphia magazine’s 2022 Best of Philly list, Küf Knotz is known for his spiritually charged lyrics and lo-fi, boombox-era beats. He has opened for Bruce Springsteen, the Roots, and Lauryn Hill, among others. Christine Elise is a classically trained harpist, pianist, and vocalist with a background in music therapy. Her ethereal harp and soulful vocals elevate the duo’s sound into a transcendent experience. Küf Knotz & Christine Elise have toured across North America, with appearances on NPR Music and Sugarshack Sessions.
Performances at 6:30 & 7:45pm.
First Friday also includes access to the collection and Henri Rousseau: A Painter’s Secrets.
Seating is limited. Cocktails and light fare are available for purchase.
In the mood for something heartier? The Garden Restaurant is open for dinner during First Friday. Make a reservation between 6 and 8pm.
