On December 16 and 17, 2016 at 8:00PM, The New York Pops, led by Music Director Steven Reineke, presented an evening full of holiday cheer at Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage. The orchestra was joined by four guest artists, sisters Liz Callaway and Ann Hampton Callaway and brothers Anthony and Will Nunziata, for a holiday affair filled with family fun. Judith Clurman's Essential Voices USA helped ring in the holiday season.
"Our December concerts really are my favorite holiday tradition, and I believe that they're a cherished holiday tradition for the 5,000 New Yorkers who attend each winter!," said Music DirectorSteven Reineke. "For years, I've been dreaming of getting my good friends the Callaway sisters and the Nunziata twins on stage with The New York Pops at Carnegie Hall. It's really going to be a fun family affair, and the chemistry among these performers will be absolutely electric. I want it to feel like everyone in the hall is sitting around the fireplace, sipping hot chocolate, and singing our favorite songs. That's what a New York Pops holiday concert should really be like - coming home to your family!"
The orchestra's 34th season continues on Friday, March 10, 2017, 8:00PM with Life is a Cabaret: The Songs of Kander and Ebb, in celebration of John Kander's 90th birthday. The New York Pops brings to life his five decade partnership with Fred Ebb with songs from their hit Broadway shows including Cabaret, Kiss of the Spider Woman, The Scottsboro Boys, and Chicago.
