On April 21, 2017 at 8:00PM, The New York Pops, led by Music Director Steven Reineke, will continue its 34th season at Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage, by bringing to life the soundtrack of a generation, including songs by James Taylor, Carole King, and more. The concert will feature the full 78-piece New York Pops orchestra performing new orchestrations of classic songs, performed by Broadway stars. Christopher Jackson (Hamilton, The Lion King, In the Heights) joins the previously announced Will Chase (Something Rotten, Smash), Jessie Mueller (Waitress, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), and Adrienne Warren (Shuffle Along, Orange is the New Black).

 

The orchestra will continue its year-long celebration of the 25th Anniversary of its flagship education program, Kids in the Balcony, by inviting 100 children from New York City partner schools to attend the concert free of charge. These students will receive customized workbooks and a pre-concert visit from a Teaching Artist. The program has served more than 60,000 children since it began in 1991.
