Experience Kim Kashkashian live on February 7th

Kim Kashkashian will perform a concert at Benjamin Franklin Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on February 7, 2027. Kashkashian is internationally recognized as a leading violist, known for her deeply expressive and intensely personal interpretations of both classical and contemporary repertoire. Her musical style is characterized by a rich tone, nuanced phrasing, and a commitment to exploring the emotional core of each piece. She frequently champions new works and collaborates with contemporary composers, alongside performing standard viola literature.

Benjamin Franklin Hall is located within the historic Philadelphia Museum of Art. Originally built for the 1926 Sesquicentennial Exposition as the Pennsylvania State Fine Arts Building, it was later incorporated into the museum complex following renovations in the 1930s. The hall’s architecture reflects a neoclassical style with significant art deco influences. It has served as a venue for diverse performances including orchestral concerts, chamber music recitals, lectures and large-scale events. The hall is noted for its excellent acoustics and elegant aesthetic providing an intimate setting despite its size. It underwent further restoration work in recent years to preserve its historical features while updating technical capabilities.
