Projects & Initiatives
Saving Sigma Sound Studios
Preservation and redevelopment of Sigma Sound Studios original location on N 12th street in Chinatown is our current primary focus as an organization. In 2020 we successfully lobbied for the historic designation of the original building via the Philadelphia Historical Commission, preventing developers from demolishing this significant music landmark.
Music Office of Philadelphia
On January 19th, 2023 we helped the Music Industry Task Force successfully (and unanimously!) pass a resolution in Philadelphia City Council to adopt the “music industry recommendations” report. The next step is the establishment of an official music office and hiring full-time staff members to implement the adopted recommendations.
Joe Tarsia Podcast
We have extensively researched Sigma Sound Studios and are developing a podcast series about the studio and life of founder/engineer, Joe Tarsia.
“Our music industry has always been a primary component of our Cultural Industry, contributing to our robust creative economy and international reputation.”
— Patricia Wilson Aden, President & CEO of the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance
