SUMMARY:Fitler Club presents Coltrane at 100: A Guided Listening Experience
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Coltrane at 100 with an intimate guided listening experience exploring the music and legacy of John & Alice Coltrane. \n\n\n\n\nColtrane at 100: A Guided Listening Experience with Anyabwile Love & Marcus Moore\nAs Philadelphia commemorates John Coltrane’s centennial\, this special guided listening — led by Philadelphia native Anyabwile Love\, founder of the John Coltrane Symposium\, and acclaimed author\, curator and music journalist Marcus J. Moore — offers an intimate journey through the music of John and Alice Coltrane. Rather than treating their work as static artifacts of jazz history\, Love and Moore will listen closely to songs from the Coltranes’ catalog\, tracing the spiritual\, philosophical and sonic ideas that connected two of the 20th century’s most important artists. Through selected recordings\, conversation and reflection\, the program will explore how John and Alice used music as a vehicle for transcendence\, inquiry and liberation. \nTogether\, Love and Moore bring complementary perspectives to the experience. Love\, a writer\, filmmaker and professor of History and Black Studies at Community College of Philadelphia\, has spent years examining Coltrane’s legacy through the John Coltrane Symposium and his scholarship on Black culture. Moore\, whose work spans The New York Times\, NPR\, The Washington Post\, The Atlantic and beyond\, has built a career around intentional listening and creating spaces where music can be encountered with patience\, context and feeling. This listening event will invite audiences to hear the Coltranes’ music deeply\, while considering how their work continues to speak to the present.

SUMMARY:Ars Nova presents Sun Ra Arkestra Performs the Music of John Coltrane
DESCRIPTION:Please join Ars Nova Workshop in celebrating the life and legacy of John Coltrane on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth. A week of performances kicks off with the Sun Ra Arkestra performing bold new arrangements of the legendary saxophonist’s music at the Mandell Theater on Wednesday\, September 23. \nJohn Coltrane changed the course of music\, but his story is also deeply rooted in Philadelphia. In 2026\, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth\, Ars Nova Workshop will present COLTRANE 100 — a citywide constellation of performances\, conversations\, exhibitions\, listening events\, community gatherings\, educational programs\, and neighborhood activations honoring Coltrane’s enduring legacy and Philadelphia’s central role in shaping it. Developed in collaboration with the John and Alice Coltrane estate\, artists\, scholars\, community leaders\, and cultural partners across the city\, the initiative will unfold across venues\, libraries\, public spaces\, and neighborhoods throughout Philadelphia. \nOn Coltrane’s 100th birthday\, September 23\, 2026\, Ars Nova will launch this celebration with a very special performance by an iconic Philadelphia-based ensemble. Formed in the mid-1950s by its cosmic-philosopher namesake and led for more than three decades by the 102-year-old Marshall Allen\, the Sun Ra Arkestra combines era-spanning jazz with dance\, theatrics and an interstellar vision that helped lay the foundation for the Afrofuturism movement. This unique concert will feature a tribute from one pioneer to another\, as Maestro Allen leads the ensemble in a career-spanning performance of Trane’s compositions\, expanded beyond the stars as only the Arkestra can.

Her latest record\, fata morgana\, is a genre-defiant synthesis of dancehall\, tape meditations\, slow jams\, gospel\, and crunched metal influences\, and has received near-universal critical acclaim.
