Under the leadership of Hafez Ali El-Kotain, Al-Bustan’s Percussion Ensemble welcomes the summer with fellow Philadelphians.  The talented drummers will lead the break-of-dawn drum circle at the Kimmel Center’s Solstice Celebration, ending fifteen hours of continuous performances that begin on Saturday.

Wake up – or end your night – with our teens  as they greet the daybreak and welcome summer with percussive panache.

5:00 AM (not always their best time of day…) at  Kimmel Center’s Commonwealth Plaza, Broad and Spruce Streets, Philadelphia.
