Join Penn Jazz in our celebration of winter and big band jazz! We’ll feature compositions by legendary arrangers Sammy Nestico, Thad Jones, Kenny Wheeler, and a few originals by our Director Skyler Hagner and our President John Fath! Don’t miss this laid-back, not-too-long concert experience December 9 and 10.
“The most brilliant hip-hop choreographer in America,” (The New Yorker) Rennie Harris, is back with a complete re-mounting of one of his most celebrated works, Rome & Jewels. A story of love, fear, violence and triumph, Rome & Jewels challenges preconceived notions of Shakespeare with a hip hop journey through the streets of Philadelphia. The evening-length production was groundbreaking globally, winning numerous awards as it explored racial, religious and economic questions through the lens of gang violence. Honoring Puremovement’s 30th anniversary and featuring some of the original cast, Elizabethan drama gets intermixed with hip hop rhythms and tragic gang culture, resulting in an epic and poetic look at real life. Student tickets only $10.
Sargam, Penn's premier South Asian fusion music group, is back to stage this Spring with Ananda ("Joy"), an exhibition of a diverse set of pieces, ranging from Indian classical to Bollywood to hard rock! Join us for an enthralling night of music and fun!
"Carrie White is a teenage outcast who longs to fit in. At school, she’s bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she's dominated by her loving but cruelly controlling mother. What none of them know is that Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it. Set in 1980s in the small New England town of Chamberlain, Maine, Carrie: The Musical features a book by Lawrence D. Cohen (screenwriter of the classic film), music by Academy Award winner Michael Gore (Fame, Terms of Endearment), and lyrics by Academy Award winner Dean Pitchford (Fame, Footloose).
Penn Singers' production is produced by Blake Velick, directed by Quentin Madia, music directed by Josh Goldhaber, intimacy directed by Nora Gair, and choreographed by Clarissa Touchstone."

"Come listen to and meet The Menagerie, a band focused on spreading the joy of music through playing music! Whether you are taking a study break from finals, tired of your current playlist, or just want some fresh air, head to the Platt Lobby on December 10th at 7:30 pm to enjoy some live music!
A little bit about us: We call ourselves the ""Menagerie"" (me·nag·er·ie), or a collection of eccentric and unique people from different backgrounds and walks of life that has been united by a common interest: music! Our band has recently started out of the fact that music is a shared joy and one that should be open to everyone. We love to perform and to just share our passion for music with everyone around us, including the Penn community and beyond!"
