We are pleased to announce that Temple Contemporary was awarded $300,000 by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage for the development and implementation for the project, Symphony for a Broken Orchestra. Taking place in December 2017, Symphony for a Broken Orchestra is a visionary composition by David Lang featuring the School District of Philadelphia’s 1,500 broken instruments. The instruments that were used in the concert are currently being repaired, and will be returned to the School District in the fall 2018.
