On December 15, 2023 hundreds of Philadelphians gathered inside the Kimmel Center to sing. They assembled and rehearsed as strangers, then sang a simple song — together as a group — connected by the power of music. As commuters and holiday shoppers whisked by outside, hundreds of voices filled the Kimmel’s lobby for a truly joyful and beautiful hour during the Silent Night Sing-In.
