About the Event
Enjoy an evening of art, live music, cocktails, and light fare at our monthly First Friday mixer.
This month’s event features acclaimed saxophonist Hiruy Tirfe. The Philly native is a versatile artist who has collaborated with icons like Patti LaBelle, the Roots, and DJ Jazzy Jeff. In 2023 Tirfe created music for the film A Nashville Legacy, and in 2022 he contributed to Tye Tribbett’s Grammy-nominated album All Things New. This year, Tirfe released his debut album 10,000 Hours, an innovative blend of jazz, soul, and spoken word. Tonight’s electrifying performances by Tirfe and his band are sure to inspire!
First Friday at the Barnes includes access to the first-floor collection galleries, Matisse & Renoir: New Encounters at the Barnes, and Visions.
Seating is limited. Cocktails and light fare are available for purchase.
