Before HearTOGETHER was a podcast, it was a live event! On August 28, 2020, The Philadelphia Orchestra marked Women’s Equality Day and the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, with a discussion moderated by First Associate Concertmaster Juliette Kang and featuring soprano Angel Blue, and composer Jennifer Higdon. In addition to recognizing the achievements—and failures—of the early suffrage movement, the discussion focused on the panelists' lived experiences as women artists at the top of their field. 

The Philadelphia Orchestra’s HearTOGETHER series is generously supported by lead corporate sponsor Accordant Advisors. Additional major support has been provided by the Otto Haas Charitable Trust.
