for 7x7 @ Venice Island
Seven performances • Seven musical genres • A multitude of entertainment
The 7 x7 Venice Island Concert Series takes place at the new and beautiful performance facility: Venice Island Performing Arts & Recreation Center in Manayunk. This series introduces the artists and the audience to a must-see Philadelphia area venue. More importantly, the 7 x7 Venice Island Concert Series is a special project in which the artists and performers also serve as co-producers. Working along with the PJP staff, they will have a hands-on experience in making their musical performance possible. It is through this kind of effort that we support and enable the Philadelphia Jazz Music to thrive into the future.
