Crossroads events fall into three groups. PHILADELPHIA CROSSROADS continues the original Crossroads Music Series, which presents contrasting but related music from two different Philadelphia communities on the second Saturday of each month. Beginning in October, ROOT AND BRANCH concerts will continue the Cherry Tree's series of concerts by nationally-known touring artists. Finally, the Folklife Center's NADA BRAHMA (Sanskrit for "The World is Sound") events will present locally-based and national and international touring artists from culturally-specific traditions around the world.
All events take place at 7:30 pm in the historic Calvary Center for Community and Culture. Oak paneling, red carpets, and a horseshoe balcony make the room feel more like an intimate theater than a church. Seating is in comfortable chairs (not pews) and no seat is more than 35 feet from the stage.
Calvary Center is located at 48th Street and Baltimore Avenue, a few blocks west of the University of Pennsylvania. The 34 subway-surface trolley stops at the door, and a free city-maintained parking lot is located on the block. Dinner and refreshments are available at the concerts and at excellent restaurants nearby.
