In the near distance at center, Philadelphia Orchestra conductor Leopold Stokowski stands elevated among a crowd of the Orchestra's musicians. He raises his hands out to his sides, slightly, and looks towards the right as he addresses them. Members of the orchestra surround and look towards him. Most wear their concert attire. Three orchestra members sit in the foreground at left. Violinists group together at right. More musicians crowd the rest of the space behind Stokowski.
