Description Join the Rosenbach, Chef Adam Diltz of Elwood Restaurant, and talented musicians from the Philadelphia Orchestra for a “Philadelphia tea party” in honor of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. Your afternoon voyage through history, gastronomy, and music will begin with a special collection presentation in the historic Rosenbach library focused on manuscripts and printed works related to the history of the Boston Tea Party, led by Dr. Alexander Lawrence Ames, Senior Director of Collections Engagement at the Rosenbach. Then, you will settle into the Rosenbach’s beautiful and historic parlor, where flautist Olivia Staton, Second Flute of The Philadelphia Orchestra, and Elizabeth Hainen, Principal Harp of The Philadelphia Orchestra, will perform pieces for harp and flute, many with Philadelphia and Rosenbach connections. A special highlight in the afternoon’s performance repertoire is the Serenade No. 10 for Flute and Harp by Vincent Persichetti (1915-1987), a Philadelphia native and instructor at the Curtis Institute who lived near the Rosenbach. Afternoon tea will be served in the historic dining room, curated by Chef Adam Diltz of Elwood Restaurant.
