American Pops from Boogie-Woogie to Broadway (Cancelled)

NOTE: This event has been cancelled.

American Pops, from Boogie-Woogie to Broadway. A musical adventure spanning the fun and diverse American musical landscape, encompassing everything from Rogers and Hammerstein, to Simon and Garfunkel, to George Gershwin. American music is known the world over for its warmth, charm and hopefulness, which transcends genre, style or era. Whether found in the jazz song Tuxedo Junction or the Appalachian folk tune Shenandoah, American music embraces the melting pot of our culture. Come hear the Placer Pops Chorale and Orchestra perform these rich American melodies heard round the world.

The Placer Pops Chorale, led by Artistic/Musical Director Lorin Miller, is an auditioned choral group of 75 singers that performs with its own orchestra. The Chorale puts on two major concert series each year, in May and in December, along with special appearances and benefit performances, including the annual, free A Gift of the Heart ”Homeland” concert celebrating the 4th of July. Taken largely from the American tradition, the Chorale’s music represents a variety of styles, with a strong emphasis on the popular music of the last 75 years, including the best of Broadway and Hollywood. The group is diverse in nature, and has participants of all ages. Under the inspired leadership of Director Miller, the reputation of the Chorale has soared in recent years, attracting talented singers to the group, and drawing music lovers to its dynamic concerts, often sold out weeks in advance.
