By: BWW News Desk Oct. 25, 2014
The Chattanooga Symphony & Opera will be opening its 2014/15 Luken Holdings Pops Series with a Boston Pops Tribute: A Salute to Arthur Fiedler and John Williams tonight, October 25 at 7:30pm at the Tivoli Theatre. Principal Pops Conductor Bob Bernhardt will be leading the first half with marches and light classics, favorites of Arthur Fiedler, a 50-year conductor for the Boston Pops. Works include The Washington Post, the George M. Cohan Salute, Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20, and Rachmaninoff's popular 2nd piano concerto. Michael Chertock, a featured guest with the Boston Pops for several years, will be featured on piano.
The second half is all John Williams. This famed composer was the successor to Fiedler and conducted the Pops for over 14 years. Works include pieces from films such as Far and Away, Fiddler on the Roof, Lincoln, and Schindler's List, with a solo performance by CSO concertmaster Holly Mulcahy. Bernhardt, a guest conductor with the Boston Pops for 20 years, will weave his own memories in through the course of the concert.
