The "Grand Old Lady of Locust Street" in Philadelphia sparkled Saturday night when more than 2,800 guests turned out on a cold and snowy night for the Academy of Music's 153rd Anniversary Concert, followed by the ball with 2,100 guests at the Park Hyatt Philadelphia at the Bellevue.
The ladies were attired in designer gowns from Versace, Marchesa, Escada, Chanel, Oscar de la Renta, Jessica Saphire, a Drexel design student, to individual creations; and the gentlemen in white tie, enhancing the ambiance of the evening. The evening began with a president's reception in the newly restored ballroom at the Academy of Music.
