SUMMARY:Artist Closing and Talk
DESCRIPTION:“…at this very moment millions of human beings are standing at crossroads and intersections…”\n—Yehuda Amichai\, Open Closed Open \nThis is the message at the heart of “More Ink Meandering with Cutaways and Folds (Accompanied by a Poem)\,” an exhibition of ink works by artist Cheryl Levin. \nLevins’ work compels close attention with its intricate delicacy. By utilizing abstraction through thinly drawn linework and cutaways\, the artist memorializes and traces her evolution of processing loss through the years. The initial works were made using her artistic partner and late husband Robert Phillips’ metal cut-offs. Levin infuses them with ink\, bleeding into the page to echo the transitions from grief to eventual acceptance and distance\, encompassing the inconsistencies we collectively navigate in our life journeys. \nMore Ink Meandering with Cutaways and Folds (Accompanied by a Poem) will be on view in Gallery 1 at Da Vinci Art Alliance from March 4th to March 22nd.

SUMMARY:Cadence in the Clouds
DESCRIPTION:Cadence in the Clouds is an industry night that celebrates the dreamers in Philadelphia; the artists\, the creatives\, the entrepreneurs\, and the supporters of the arts. It is meant to show Philly artists that they don’t need to move out of the city to have a thriving career. Philly is a city rich in history\, and they should be a part of it given the necessary resources and connections. We aim to create the industry night that puts all of those people in one room\, while using all local Philadelphia businesses and artists\, to make a night where people connect and collaborate through the language of music. While patrons get to enjoy a live concert featuring music from DJ Bear One\, A.Rob\, and Sahlii\, their ticket also comes with artist bios\, raffles for a studio session and a photography/music video shoot\, live art\, complimentary snacks and sweets\, and so much more. \nThis particular concert is all about celebrating artists who are courageous enough to use their music and their art to make a change and stand up to what is going on in the world. It’s meant to show that while some pay punish you for speaking up\, we will highlight you\, putting you on our stage to amplify your voice. Every artist and business who is taking part has used their platform as a release\, and as a means to protest everything happening in the world. By purchasing tickets or any of the art that will be at the event\, you are directly putting money into the pockets of Black and Brown artists.

SUMMARY:Vopli Vidopliassova "40th Anniversary Tour"
DESCRIPTION:City Winery Philadelphia presents Vopli Vidopliassova “40th Anniversary Tour” With support from Leonid Foundation live on Tuesday\, January 13th at 7:30pm. \nAs part of their 40th Anniversary World Tour\, Ukraine’s legendary band Vopli Vidopliassova returns to Philadelphia on January 13 for a powerful evening of music\, freedom\, and celebration. \nFor four decades\, VV has stood at the forefront of Ukrainian rock\, fusing punk\, folk\, and global rhythms into a genre-defying sound that resonates across generations. After a sold-out North American tour in 2025\, the band continues its celebration with this winter edition of the tour\, featuring a festive Malanka theme and community collaborations. \nThis show will also contribute to VV’s ongoing charity mission. In 2025\, the band raised over $50\,000 for Misto Dobra and other Ukrainian nonprofits. For the 2026 tour\, they aim to double that impact through live auctions\, donations\, and local partnerships — including support from the Leonid Foundation. \nJoin us before the show in our restaurant or relax with service at your table during the show to enjoy a night of food\, wine\, and music. You can even reserve a wine carafe during checkout – it’ll be waiting at your seat when you arrive.

SUMMARY:Bespoke Matter
DESCRIPTION:Curtis Symphony Orchestra launches its 2025–26 series with a dynamic program tracing the evolution of orchestral music. The evening opens with Overture to The School for Scandal\, Curtis alumnus Samuel Barber’s witty and fast-paced overture inspired by Sheridan’s 18th-century comedy. Grammy-winning conductor Christoph Eschenbach leads Krzysztof Penderecki’s Concerto Grosso for Three Cellos\, featuring Curtis alumni Nicholas Canellakis\, Yumi Kendall\, and Christine Jeonghyoun Lee—a striking work that blends lyrical beauty with bold dissonance and rhythmic intensity. \nThe program culminates in Anton Bruckner’s monumental Symphony No. 3\, a sweeping and heroic masterpiece that unfolds in waves of majestic brass chorales\, soaring themes\, and a staggering sense of scale. \nPlease note programs and artists are subject to change.
