Symphony Solo Work on Memorial Day

It is my distinct pleasure to be in tech week for Memorial Day Pops!…an enormous program of patriotic songs, show tunes and jazz pops music to be performed by the marvelous Spartanburg Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Maestra Sarah Ioannides Monday, May 25 at 7:30 pm at Zimmerli Amphitheater in Barnet Park, Spartanburg, SC. What a treat this performance will be! In addition to myself, the wonderful child soprano, Emma-Brooke Alley, will delight the audience with her lovely renditions of “Over the Rainbow,” “You Lift Me Up” and a medley from “Frozen.” Our two duets will be highlights of my evening… Jazz lovers will dig Chris Walden’s arrangements from my touring symphony pops show including “When I Fall In Love,” “It Don’t Mean a Thing,” “Cry Me a River” and “Nice ‘n’ Easy.” In addition to all that, there will be patriotic favorites and Gene Scheer’s wonderful “American Anthem” which I look forward to singing with the full orchestra. Following the concert a spectacular fireworks display will light up the Spartanburg sky! Admission is free, but your $5 donation helps offset the cost of this beautiful regional show. Thank you for your support of live music, and, wherever you are, let’s all say a prayer of thanks for those who have died for our freedom, as well as a prayer for those still in harm’s way serving our country… Wishing a blessed Memorial Day to all.
