The 2nd Annual Pennovation Summer Concert, featuring the Sun Ra Arkestra, was a huge hit with longtime Philly music fans, as well as new Penn students. After a rousing opening from local percussion group, Music Over Matter (MOM), over 200 attendees listened and danced to the Arkestra's innovative and eclectic music. Thank you to everyone from Grays Ferry and the wider Philadelphia community who joined us for this wonderful evening!
