Special Events Hall at Phipps Conservatory
On Thurs., Oct. 23, join Phipps Conservatory and Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra for a magical musical performance in Pittsburgh's green oasis! One-night-only, listen as local musicians play classical chords among a dreamy display of fall blooms. The fun doesn't stop there! Tickets include Conservatory admission, so guests can explore the colorful chrysanthemums, autumnal displays and more of Phipps’ Fall Flower Show: Visions of Japan.
Patrons are encouraged to report directly to our Tropical Forest Conservatory shortly before showtime, then tour the Fall Flower Show after their scheduled performance; Phipps will remain open until 9 p.m.
A cashless (credit card only) bar will be open with refreshments for sale.
This season, two sessions of Chrysanthemums and Classical will be offered, with performances at 6 and 7 p.m.
Doors open 30 minutes prior to the start of each performance, which will begin promptly at the stated time. Please plan to arrive early as seating is not assigned and is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
