Project Created: “Germantown Avenue: Pathway to Hybridity”
Project Description: Colton Weatherston, composer, guitarist, and educator, believes that much of Philadelphia’s deep history and background is rooted within the streets of Germantown Avenue. He plans to compose a musical portrait of the cultures, peoples, faith groups, and events that make this corridor important and unique to Philadelphians.
