    Let’s talk: Drexel University responds to William Penn’s offer on the Academy of Natural Sciences (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Even after a massive wave of love and a crescendo of protests over the weekend, the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University museum won’t be getting an immediate reprieve. Philadelphia’s beloved gateway to the natural world will remain shuttered after Drexel University released a statement Monday in response to an offer from the William Penn Foundation to temporarily underwrite operating costs and keep the doors open. Drexel’s statement neither accepts nor rejects William Penn’s

    Classical music is pitching a bigger tent than ever this fall. Here are the best offerings. (opens the original)

    Classical music has long sought a friendlier mien, and this fall the genre seems to have redoubled its efforts. New books and author chats are in abundance, aiming to demystify the art form and make personal connections. Films with live orchestra have become not a special event, but a regular feature. Concert formats continue to get rejiggered in an effort to make the tent bigger. There’s a danger, of course, that in its quest for relevance, classical will no longer be the main event. Some of

    Musicians and management of the Philadelphia Orchestra have struck a tentative agreement on a new three-year labor deal. The pact, whose terms were finalized in the past few days after more than six months of talks, would, if ratified, put the base minimum salary of orchestra members at $200,008 annually by the end of the contract. Players were presented with the deal Monday and, after a mandatory 48-hour period to mull it, are slated to hold a ratification vote starting Wednesday. The old contr

    The Academy of Natural Sciences museum is closing, but all eyes are on its specimens — all 19 million of them (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Philadelphians reacted with outrage when Drexel University and the Academy of Natural Sciences announced the closing of its museum on the Ben Franklin Parkway earlier this month. But the museum is only a part of what the academy does.
