The Kimmel Cultural Campus and The Philadelphia Orchestra are proud to introduce Ensemble Arts Philly, a new brand name representing a wide variety of genres, including Broadway, comedy, theater, jazz, dance, and family presentations across three venues: the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, the Academy of Music, and the Miller Theater. The new brand name will also represent free programming, community service partnerships, digital rush ticket opportunities, complimentary tickets to partnering charitable organizations, and educational activities–including our new Musical Theater Program: Set The Stage for 5-7 graders–that happen both inside and outside of our venues.
This new name and accompanying URL (www.EnsembleArtsPhilly.org) will ensure that ticket purchases are made through official channels and will enable guests to purchase tickets to events from multiple genres in one transaction–including The Philadelphia Orchestra and Broadway.
“From the return of Hamilton to the premiere of MJ The Musical, Ensemble Arts Philly is the platform for bold and innovative performances and partnerships,” said President and CEO Matías Tarnopolsky. “The Philadelphia Orchestra’s name and GRAMMY® Award–winning identity will not change, and its 125-year-old brand will remain strong. Ensemble Arts Philly is the presenting brand for signature presentations including Broadway, jazz, dance, family, and comedy programs.”
“Ensemble Arts Philly puts the art—and the people who make it—at the center of our brand,” said Crystal Brewe, Chief Marketing and Audience Experience Officer. “More than our three iconic buildings, Ensemble Arts Philly brings our great city together and convenes talented artists for with experiences as diverse as our region, sharing the transformative power of the performing arts with Philadelphia and the world.”
