About the Event
Enjoy an evening of art, live music, cocktails, and light fare at our monthly First Friday mixer.
Our January program features performances by Luke Carlos O’Reilly and Emily Braden. O’Reilly is an award-winning Philadelphia-based pianist and organist whose musical style is heavily influenced by jazz, soul, R&B, gospel, Latin, and classical music. Tonight, he leads an ensemble fronted by vocalist, songwriter, and lyricist Emily Braden. A winner of New York City’s Jazzmobile Vocal Competition and a cultural ambassador with the United States’ Arts Envoy Program, Braden is a magnetic performer with a commanding stage presence.
Performances at 6:30pm & 7:45pm.
This program is presented in partnership with the Philadelphia chapter of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA). Join us on the lower level throughout the evening to and mix and mingle with fellow creative professionals in the AIGA bar and lounge (6 – 9pm).
