The program will feature numbers from all eleven of the collaborations between Rodgers and Hammerstein. Selections will include "A Wonderful Guy" and "There Is Nothin' Like a Dame" from South Pacific, "The Sound of Music" from The Sound of Music, and the Cinderella Waltz from Cinderella.
"It's always a joy to program the songs of Rodgers and Hammerstein," says New York Pops Music Director and Conductor Steven Reineke. "They are the songwriting team that revolutionized musical theater and paved the way for many songwriters today. They dared to interject real pathos and social issues into their stories. The New York Pops and I are thrilled to welcome the brilliant performers Sierra Boggess and Julian Ovenden to Carnegie Hall to bring these songs to life for the opening of our 33rd Season. I know it will be an incredible concert, filled with genuine emotion and soaring melodies, rounded out by the incredibly skilled musicians of The New York Pops!"
The New York Pops' 33rd season continues on Friday, November 13, 2015, 8:00PM at Carnegie Hall with Sophisticated Ladies, featuring guest artists Montego Glover, Capathia Jenkins, and Sy Smith. Commemorating the centennial year of Billie Holliday's birth, this concert will showcase the influence of Lady Day and other groundbreaking icons of American popular song, from Ella Fitzgerald to Sarah Vaughan to Dinah Washington.
