Attendees will have the chance to win tickets to see the larger concert, POPS Rocks ABBA: Mamma Mia! And More, at the Kimmel Cultural Campus. Guests are encouraged to come dressed in their best ABBA attire for the sing-along.

Philly POPS will perform the hits "Take a Chance On Me," "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!," "Chiquitita," "Mamma Mia," "Waterloo," "Money, Money, Money," "Dancing Queen" and "The Winner Takes It All."

Tickets are $10 and include museum admission. The music starts at 7 p.m. but the ASHM galleries will open at 5 p.m. with appetizers and drinks available for purchase.

Tickets for the POPS Rocks ABBA: Mamma Mia! And More shows on Nov. 17, 20 and 21 are $35 per person and available online.

"ABBA's music is pure joy – which is something I think we all could use about now," Philly POPS Musical Director David Charles Abell said. "Their music is a perfect example of pop, and the full POPS orchestra will bring plenty of fun and excitement to these arrangements and orchestrations. And, as a Scandinavian group, Rajaton adds an extra layer of authenticity."
