Philadelphia Museum of Art presents The Karen Smith Experience

The Karen Smith Experience will perform in the Great Stair Hall, offering an afternoon of live music and artistic engagement in one of the Museum’s most iconic gathering spaces.

Karen Smith is a percussionist who captures “the rhythm of a place and the cadences of people” in performances with a wide range of artists. Play trane, a poem inspired by the music and legacy of John Coltrane and his spiritual awakening sounds, along with his wife, Alice Coltrane. The Karen Smith Experience creatively involves music, movement, and moments to channel the mood of the era. This highly interactive presentation will leave the audience lifted and singing My Favorite Things.
