Philadelphia and Boston were instrumental in America’s founding. They’ve also shaped its music. Tonight on America 250: The American Experience, we hear the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, two ensembles that helped define the American orchestral tradition. That’s tonight at 8 on WSHU, 91.1, 107.5, and our music stream.
