It doesn’t get much classier than cocktails, live jazz and fine art. Every Friday evening from 5 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. the Philadelphia Museum of Art hosts Art After 5, transforming the Great Stair Hall into an intimate cabaret complete with table service, cocktails, appetizers and desserts.
Performances run from 5:45 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. to 8:15 p.m., with guided tours available throughout the evening, all of which are free with admission.
This Friday, Art After 5 features vocalist Denise King with the Philly 5, a group of five of the city’s leading jazz musicians, including trumpeter John Swana, tenor sax Chris Farr, vibist Tony Miceli and the rhythm section of Maddison Rast and Dan Monaghan.
