Each spring, we present a festive evening of food, wine and fun with friends as we announce the winners of major awards given by the Musical Fund Society.

This year, we’re thrilled to present the MFS Lifetime Achievement Award to pianist, educator and new music champion Linda Reichert. We’ll also announce the winners of our 2026 Jazz and Classical Career Advancement Awards. These awards recognize emerging young performing artists of exceptional talent and promise with connections to the Philadelphia area, and we’re so excited for you to meet them!

To cap off the celebrations, we’ll hear a special performance of a new work by Jan Krzywicki, featuring Micheal Barnes (percussion) and Charles Abramovic (piano).

Tickets are $75 per person, and include hors d’oeuvres, a light meal with a selection of desserts, and wine, beer, sparkling drinks, mineral water, coffee and tea.
