What a great vibe last night on the lawn in front of Independence Hall. Peter Nero and the Philly Pops played American repertoire (Gershwin, Copland, Bernstein, Morton Gould), the sky was wispy streaks of pink and blue, the weather was extremely fine. Perhaps a couple thousand listeners gathered around. When the elements come together, music outdoors is one of life's great sensations. You have another chance to see sky with your Bizet: The Philadelphia Orchestra plays a Spanish-themed concert July 21 at 7 p.m. in West Philly's Clark Park.
