Photos from the Philadelphia Orchestra's "Hail to the Heroes"

Saturday’s concert at the Mann marked the first time the orchestra performed for a live audience since March 7, 2020 — when COVID-19 began separating the vast majority of arts groups from their patrons. Dubbed “Hail to the Heroes,” the concert was organized to thank front-line workers in the pandemic, and it drew an estimated 750 socially distanced listeners.
