Eagles center Jason Kelce has lined up his next off-field gig. He’ll play sax next week on stage at the Mann Center alongside the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Kelce, who took up the saxophone in the fourth grade and continued playing in high school jazz and symphonic band ensembles, will perform with the orchestra on Tuesday, July 24, a Mann Center spokesperson said. He and the orchestra will play a single piece together: “Fly, Eagles, Fly,” with Kelce using a baritone sax on loan from the School District of Philadelphia.
