Fri. Oct. 29 at 10 p.m. on WKAR-HD 23.1 & STREAMING | Enjoy the American Pops Orchestra’s celebration of uniquely American music that transcended its original genre to find a place in our collective culture.
Luke Frazier, music director and conductor of American Pops Orchestra, states about the premiere of One Voice: “There are so many incredible songs that contribute to the extraordinary cannon of American music. Many of the songs that you will enjoy in this series began as part of some other body of work or as part of a very specific genre of music.”
“The pieces we will share with you have transcended their original purpose, making an indelible mark on the iconic American Songbook,” continues Frazier. “One Voice: The Songs We Share brings these celebrated classics front and center, and with the American Pops Orchestra’s commitment to present them in a fresh and new way.”
