On September 8th, The Center hosted a Pennovation Works Community Concert.
It was a truly wonderful night on the plaza, made all the more wonderful by the musical offerings ofAndre Thierry & Zydeco Magic and the presence of several Grays Ferry community organizations.
"When architects and planners envisioned The Pennovation Center, they foresaw the plaza as a special space that could host events and instill a sense of community to the Pennovation complex. Almost a year after opening The Pennovation Center, a scintillating Zydeco Concert opened the plaza, for the first time ever, to the working population of The Works and the neighbors who live in the nearby community.
There was music, dancing, great food and plenty of networking. Grammy nominated band Andre Thierry & Zydeco Magic played the contagious Louisiana French creole music complete with a feisty accordion and the iconic washboard with its ratchet sounds.
The event, sponsored by Penn’s Facilities and Real Estate Services, brought together diverse people, and filled the night with spicy sounds and jovial dancing under the stars."
