Treat yourself to a concert date with the Plymouth Philharmonic
Whether you’re new to Massachusetts or been here a while, if you want to hear some wonderful music without the hassles of in-town drive, parking, and an expensive meal, consider the Plymouth Philharmonic. It's conveniently located on Court Street in Plymouth, just a mile off Route 3.
The Phil, as its fans refer to it, has great music without the hassles of a trip to Boston or New York. They play both in Memorial Hall right on Court Street in Plymouth, and at the Duxbury Performing Arts Center near the high school. Prices are reasonable, with tickets running from $20 to $50 for the Christmas shows, depending on where you’ll hear the music.
The Christmas concert, Holiday Pops, is an annual favorite, playing this year on Saturday evening (8PM) and Sunday afternoon (3PM), D
ecember 10th and 11th. Park right behind Memorial Hall, or across the street for free and walk a few steps into historic Memorial Hall. Tickets are still available as of December 4th.. Let music director Steven Karidoyanes describe why he selected Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia on Christmas Carols and other seasonal treats. His easy-going yet professional approach to his music gives the show an intimate feel.
The concerts in March are a treat if you like a chorus, and tickets start at under $10. The Family Concert on March 4th features the Plymouth Children’s Chorus; the Power and Glory concert will feature the 250 voice High School Choral Consortium.
A word on the seats at Memorial Hall: make no mistake, this is an older venue, so legroom is limited and the seats are small, especially in the balcony. Do yourself a favor and try to get on the floor or in the mezzanine sections for a more relaxed seat. It’s worth the expense.
More details about the Phil are available on-line, but the best way to really know what it’s about is to find your way to a concert. For the prices, bring a friend. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
