IMMANUEL WILKINS QUARTET

Please join Ars Nova Workshop at Solar Myth on October 18 for a special closing-night performance by saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins and his extraordinary quartet, presented in celebration of the 10th anniversary of Philly Music Fest.

Few artists embody the creative spirit of Philadelphia as profoundly as Wilkins and this ensemble. Together, the quartet has emerged as one of the most vital and emotionally searching groups in contemporary music—melding deep lyricism, collective improvisation, spiritual intensity, and fearless experimentation into a singular sound that feels both urgent and timeless. Rooted in Philadelphia yet resonating internationally, their music reflects the very values that Philly Music Fest has championed for a decade: community, risk-taking, generosity, and the transformative power of music.
