Hip-Hop Orchestra Returning to San Francisco!

When was the last time you witnessed strings, horns, and piano at a Hip-Hop concert? Add to that, a party-rocking DJ, a soul-stirring female vocalist, and a fire-breathing MC, and that is still but a fraction of what you'll see when you catch Thee Phantom & The Illharmonic Orchestra in action!
Thee Phantom & The Illharmonic Orchestra will be making their San Francisco debut at the Curran Theatre. Fronted by husband-and-wife duo, Phantom and Phoenix, The Illharmonic combines the raw energy and passion of hip-hop, with the beautiful sounds of orchestra accompaniment. In 2001, the ensemble became the first hip-hop group to perform at Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center, where they were accompanied by members of the Philadelphia Orchestra & Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia. In 2015, The Illharmonic became just the third hip-hop group to headline their own performance at the famed Carnegie Hall. The Illharmonic has since sold out The Kennedy Center, performed with 40- and 50-piece ensembles, and toured the United States and Japan.
