The joy of a Mann season is the coming together of world-class artists and enthusiastic audiences.

Tony, Grammy, and Oscar award-winning performers such as Aretha Franklin, Yo-Yo Ma, Julie Andrews, Tony Bennett, The Philadelphia Orchestra, and James Taylor have captivated, energized and transported us.

By becoming a Friend of The Mann, you help bring groundbreaking performances to Philadelphia and spotlight the richness, history, and artistry of our great city.

Come make history with us.

gifts to the annual fund bring award-winning artists to The Mann and help make Philadelphia a worldclass city in which to work and live.

An evening at The Mann is more than music. It is the experience of listening to great performances under the stars.

It is the joy of seeing friends, warm summer breezes, and the Philadelphia skyline at your feet. Whether you picnic on the lawn, or treat yourself to a romantic dinner at Stephen Starr’s Crescendo, you are making summer memories that will last a lifetime.

Escape with us.

gifts to the annual fund make you a VIP and give you the best parking, tickets and access to the artists.

Each year The Mann dazzles children with eclectic and enriching FREE performances and workshops. Whether at The Mann or in the Philadelphia public schools, we inspire, educate and make the performing arts accessible for thousands each year.

The Mann brings the look of joy and possibility to a child’s face at that moment he first experiences the arts.

The future of music is with the young.

Share the joy.

gifts to the annual fund bring the arts to those who need it most.

Over 350 community organizations and 50,000 young people are touched and delighted by our education and engagement programs each summer.
