NY Philharmonic Launches “Mobile Bandwagon”

The NY Philharmonic “Mobile Bandwagon” was recently launched to provide surprise outdoor performances across all five boroughs.

(Sound UP!) Happened upon this fun scene at the corner of Broadway and 65th yesterday – it’s part of the @nyphilharmonic mobile “Bandwagon” program where the New York Philharmonic is presenting free, surprise “pull-up” performances by members of the the orchestra and other artists while NYC’s performing venues are still closed due to Covid. Who could ask for anything more, indeed?! ?? #nyphilharmonic #nyphilbandwagon #frontrowseats #covidkindness #makepeoplehappy #communityservice #bravo #kindnestquest ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #kindness #kindnessmatters #kindacts #bekind #loveandlight #beofservice #mindfulness #mindset #positivevibes #whocouldaskforanythingmore #uws #uwsnyc #nyc #singer #operasinger #performer #art #artists #orchestra #pickuptruck #actsofkindness #ilovetheuws
