The Pennsylvania Academy of Music joins the First Friday lineup again for April, with its first community open house since its opening last June. The open house will take place 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and feature tours of the Philip Johnson-designed building, informal performances by student ensembles from the piano, voice, wind, string and guitar departments, and refreshments in the enclosed rooftop atrium. A concert by the Newstead Trio will follow at 8 p.m., featuring works by Beethoven, Mendelssohn and a
world premiere of Adrienne Albert’s “Musescapes.” Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for students and free for children three and under.
The Lancaster Quilt & Textile Museum will also offer free admission after 5 p.m. on Friday, and a reception for its new “Rainbow Yarn” exhibit of Navajo weavings as well.
