PHILADELPHIA (April 25, 2024) – New genre match-ups, a variety of musical artists to suit every taste, movies under the stars, massive festival experiences, and intimate, moving performances – the 2024 season at the Mann Center for the Performing Arts is again shaping up to be big with more concerts, more artists, and more memories for audiences to make on the Mann’s welcoming 22-acre campus in Fairmount Park.
On the heels of earning three 2024 Philadelphia Inquirer Philly Favorites awards, the Mann’s upcoming season has something for everyone, with nearly 50 performances already announced across multiple stages. The Philadelphia Orchestra’s summer residency will bring the classics to life with a modern twist, and BalletX will showcase innovative contemporary ballet as it returns for year three of its residency. Patrons will see film favorites with the Movies @ the Mann series, enjoy the return of Jazz Under the Stars Presented by Cadillac, connect with the venue’s immersive Downstage @ the Mann experience, and find chart-topping, touring, new, and all-time favorite artists are all part of the schedule.
"Last year was the biggest season ever at the Mann, and much of that success can be attributed to our booking partnership with Live Nation Philadelphia. Our 2024 season promises to reach new heights again," said Catherine M. Cahill, president and CEO of the Mann. "With our lineup full of movies, classics, hip hop, jazz, rock, and more, our Fairmount Park campus will be alive with the sounds of spring, summer, and fall, beginning in just a few short weeks. This season, our very special Downstage @ the Mann series, already in its third year, will lift up the idea of acceptance and hope with beautiful performances that share stories of the LGBTQ+ experience. It’s going to be a very special Mann season, and we can’t wait to welcome you back!”
Companies in Residence
This season’s Philadelphia Orchestra lineup, spanning classical, jazz, and rock, is sure to please fans of all genres and generations, and Philadelphia’s premier ballet company, BalletX, returns for the third year of its residency.

“This festival is not just about the performances - both contemporary dance and live music - on stage; it's about bringing our community together to celebrate the power of dance and art to unite us all,” said Christine Cox, artistic and executive director and co-founder of BalletX. “We are especially grateful for the support of our community partners and organizations who help make this event possible, as well as our dedicated team who work hard to ensure that the arts remain accessible to everyone in Philadelphia.”

Movies @ the Mann makes its heroic return with The Philadelphia Orchestra performing Batman In Concert on June 20, and a magical carpet ride awaits on July 27 for Disney’s Aladdin In Concert.
“We are thrilled to return to the Mann this summer to perform diverse programs with a wide variety of special guests,” said Matías Tarnopolsky, president and CEO of The Philadelphia Orchestra and Ensemble Arts. “From celebrating the anniversary of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue to reaching across genres with Beck and DISPATCH, to performing iconic film scores, it will be another memorable summer residency in the longstanding partnership between our two organizations.”

Released June 23, 1989, Warner Bros. Pictures’ “Batman” was the top-grossing film that year and has remained a fan-favorite for more than three decades.

SATURDAY, JUNE 22: DISPATCH with The Philadelphia Orchestra

Join us on June 22 at the TD Pavilion at the Mann for a night of indie/roots-orchestral fusion as DISPATCH plays its premiere performance with The Philadelphia Orchestra! This debut concert will feature all-new symphonic arrangements of the band’s classic songs.
Formed by Chadwick Stokes and Brad Corrigan while in college in Vermont, DISPATCH have forged their own path outside the mainstream music industry as one of independent rock’s most indelible acts over the last two-and-a-half decades. Over the course of a slew of acclaimed studio and live albums and countless tours and festivals, the band has gone on to become one of biggest success stories in music history without any traditional radio or major label support. The five piece continues to grow and push their boundaries, taking surprise turns without ever abandoning the signature sound, and the songs on their most recent release, their 8th studio album, Break Our Fall, blend infectious roots rock with hints of reggae, folk and blues.
Throughout their rise, DISPATCH has taken every opportunity to use their success for good, launching charitable organizations to fight inequality and mass incarceration, raising funds and awareness for environmental causes, schools and hospitals on the road, and even traveling as far afield as Zimbabwe to work with children and communities in need..
Our Fabulous Philadelphians paired with DISPATCH will be a summer evening of unforgettable, heartfelt music under the stars!

WEDNESDAY, JULY 24: Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue @ 100 with The Philadelphia Orchestra
TD Pavilion
Tristan Rais-Sherman, conductor
Take a trip back with us to the Roaring '20s as we celebrate the 100-year anniversary of George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Pack a picnic and join us for a night of jazz-inspired orchestral works with The Philadelphia Orchestra and Marcus Roberts Trio, conducted by Tristan Rais-Sherman on July 24!
The first part of the evening will celebrate the legacy and work of often-overlooked Black classical music composers. We’ll begin with Adolphus Hailstork’s An American Port of Call, capturing the busy essence of Norfolk, Virginia, Hailstork’s hometown. Then, we’ll hear Florence Price’s Symphony No. 3, which she composed for the Works Progress Administration at the apex of the Great Depression. Following intermission, we’ll be greeted by James P. Johnson’s epic jazz and swing-infused Victory Stride.
For the evening’s climax, we’ll be treated to Rhapsody in Blue, which has thrilled audiences for 100 years with its irresistible rhythms and lush orchestration. This special performance of the Gershwin masterwork features jazz legend Marcus Roberts and his Trio. Roberts has made a lifelong exploration of this work, revealing new treasures in every performance, punctuating the classic with “cascading arpeggios, warm pools of sound and an array of alternate motifs … hyper virtuosic pianism and the trio's rhythmic propulsion” (Chicago Tribune).
This performance is presented by Cadillac.
THURSDAY, JULY 25: Beck with The Philadelphia Orchestra
TD Pavilion
Join us for an extraordinary evening as Beck, modern music's consummate chameleon and eight-time GRAMMY® Award-winner, takes the stage with the prestigious Philadelphia Orchestra on July 25 at TD Pavilion at the Mann! This unique collaboration promises a one-of-a-kind experience, blending Beck's signature style with the rich depth and dynamic range of a full orchestra.
As the title of his most recent album Hyperspace might imply, Beck has traveled light years from his emergence as a reluctant generational spokesperson when “Loser” exploded from a rejected 1992 demo into a ubiquitous 1994 smash. In the decades since, Beck's singular career has seen him explore all genres and eras of music, blurring boundaries and blazing a path into the future while foraging through the past.
Beginning with his 1994 debut Mellow Gold, Beck’s creative evolution has always progressed at an exponential rate. From 1996’s multi-platinum cultural touchstone Odelay to 1998's world-tripping Mutations and the florescent funk of 1999's Midnite Vultures, 2002's somber Sea Change, 2005's platinum tour de force Guero and 2006's sprawling The Information, 2008's acclaimed Modern Guilt, 2014’s Album of the Year GRAMMY® winner Morning Phase, the “euphoric blast of experimental pop” (Rolling Stone) that was 2017’s Colors and his 2019 "best in a decade” (People) Hyperspace, no Beck record has ever sounded like its predecessor. The New York Times notes a consistent thread: "Though Beck’s records through the years have tended toward maximalism, a kind of meticulous sonic gorgeousness, melody remains central to his art.”
SATURDAY, JULY 27: Disney’s Aladdin In Concert with The Philadelphia Orchestra
TD Pavilion
Susie Seiter, conductor
Pack a picnic, grab your magic carpet, and join us for a mystical evening under the stars as the Mann presents Disney’s Aladdin In Concert with the Oscar®, Golden Globe®, and GRAMMY®-winning score performed live by The Philadelphia Orchestra in the TD Pavilion at the Mann on July 27!
In the mythical city of Agrabah, Aladdin is a street-smart go-getter dreaming of a better life. Princess Jasmine is the clever, confident daughter of the Sultan, longing to be free from a sheltered existence inside the palace walls. When a chance encounter brings the pair together and reveals an evil plot by the sorcerer Jafar, the two set out on a magic carpet ride of adventure to foil Jafar’s wicked plan. Along the way and with the help of best friend the monkey Abu, and a wise-cracking Genie (Robin Williams), Aladdin learns to succeed by believing in himself.
Howard Ashman and Alan Menken collaborated on six songs, including “Arabian Nights,” ”Friend Like Me,” and “Prince Ali.” After Ashman’s death in 1991, Tim Rice wrote additional works, notably “One Jump Ahead” and “A Whole New World.” The film won Academy Awards® for Best Song (“A Whole New World”) and Best Original Score.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 3: Peter White feat. Gerald Veasley Band
Jazz Under the Stars Presented by Cadillac
Throughout his career, Peter White has maintained a reputation as one of the most versatile and prolific acoustic guitarists on the contemporary jazz landscape. Armed with an unparalleled combination of lyricism and energy, he combines elements of jazz, pop, and classical guitar to create a sound that is singular and at the same time accessible to a broad audience.
In a career that spans nearly four decades, over a dozen solo recordings, and countless performances, White insists that it’s the faces in the crowd and the fans that keep the experience fresh. “I’ll play a live show, and someone will come to me afterward and say, ‘Oh, I loved this CD,’ or ‘This song helped me through a bad time,’” he explains. “Or I get emails from people saying, ‘Oh, I love the way you covered one of my favorite songs on your record back in 1994.’ The idea that someone can write me an email and tell me about something I did on a record that was released fifteen years ago – you can’t buy that. That’s priceless. That’s what keeps me going – the idea that people out there really care about what I do, the idea that I’ve made a difference for someone.”
FRIDAY, AUGUST 16: WXPN Presents Amythyst Kiah
Downstage @ the Mann
Our award-winning Downstage @ the Mann series returns! Don’t miss the 2024 series premier with GRAMMY®-nominated Americana artist Amythyst Kiah on Friday, August 16. Hailed by Rolling Stone as “one of roots music’s most promising new voices,” Kiah’s songwriting is a raw yet nuanced examination of her lived experience and journey towards total self-acceptance. Her music explores her identity as a Black and LGBTQ woman, and in particular, her years spent feeling othered living in areas of Tennessee that did not reflect her own identity.
Kiah aims to offer listeners the same sense of purposeful escape that music has long provided her, all while building an undeniable sense of communion with her audience. She dedicates her music to “anyone who’s struggled with grief or trauma, or felt left out and weird and like they didn’t belong,” noting she hopes listeners “come away from these songs knowing that they can heal from whatever it is that they’re going through."
The intimate Downstage @ the Mann performance setting offers the ideal environment in which to explore the songwriter’s music in an engaging, welcoming way. Don’t miss a breathtaking evening with Amythyst Kiah!
SATURDAY, AUGUST 31: Eric Darius feat. Gerald Veasley Band
Jazz Under the Stars Presented by Cadillac
With his crowd-captivating energy throughout his world-renowned live performances, Billboard chart-topping, American saxophonist, songwriter, producer, and performer, Eric Darius, is breaking the mold of modern Jazz. He fearlessly pushes all musical boundaries while innovatively fusing jazz with elements of R&B, hip-hop, funk, pop, and much more.
With eight highly acclaimed albums to his name, Eric continues to be a singular force on the music scene while forging new paths and bridging generational gaps. To date, he has racked up five No. 1 Hit Singles and 17 Top 10 Radio Hits on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Chart. He was SESAC’s Top 10 Jazz Artist of the Year in 2015, Citril Starz Awards’ Best Jazz, Saxophonist, Composer, Producer & Musician of the Year in 2017, and most recently was selected the Rehoboth Beach Jazz Festival Artist of the Year for 2022. A natural born showman, Eric has collaborated across genres with GRAMMY® award-winning artists Prince, Mary J. Blige, David Foster, Carlos Santana, among many others. He also founded the “On A Mission in the Schools” initiative in which he partners with schools to expose students to jazz music and encourage them to follow their artistic passions.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10: Considering Matthew Shepard
Downstage @ the Mann
Conspirare, vocal ensemble
Craig Hella Johnson, Conspirare artistic director/conductor
Elliot Forrest & Rod Caspers, stage directors
Rollo Dilworth & Jay Fluellen, choral music directors
On October 10, GRAMMY®-winning vocal ensemble Conspirare and composer Craig Hella Johnson present the choral drama Considering Matthew Shepard, an evocative and compassionate inquiry into acceptance. Inspired by the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, a young gay man in Laramie, Wyoming, the work offers audiences a chance to explore themes of anti-hate, compassion, and understanding in a powerful way. The story invites audience members to consider how we “other” people and how we can move towards acceptance. While Matthew’s untimely death occurred 25 years ago, these conversations remain relevant in today’s time of deep division.
This three-part choral drama speaks with a fresh and bold voice, incorporating a variety of musical styles seamlessly woven into a unified whole. In addition to the world-class choral performance by the Conspirare ensemble, Hella Johnson sets a wide range of poetic and soulful texts by poets including Hildegard of Bingen, Lesléa Newman, Michael Dennis Browne, and Rumi. Passages from Matt’s personal journal, interviews and writings from his parents Judy and Dennis Shepard, newspaper reports, and additional texts by Hella Johnson and Browne are poignantly appointed throughout the work. There will also be choral performance by a community choir directed by Philadelphia’s Rollo Dilworth and Dr. Jay Fluellen.
The intimate Downstage @ the Mann performance setting offers the ideal environment in which to explore this stunning work in an engaging, welcoming way. The work aims to instill a renewed sense of acceptance, introspection, unity - and above all - hope in all those who attend.
