On September 8th at Haddonfield, Richard Barnes' Blackbird Society Orchestra (the "BSO") returns to Tri-State as Philadelphia's premier Hot Jazz / Dance Orchestra, dedicated to the preservation of the music of "The Jazz Age" and "The Roaring 20s."  It's a real treat to see a big band; the BSO consistently draws our largest audiences and set admissions records at Wallingford and Haddonfield in 2017 and 2018. It's sure to be a sell-out!


This concert has been made possible by funds from the Camden County Cultural and Heritage Commission, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
