Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, Sir Elton John and Sir Paul McCartney have much in common: they are all British-born, they all have an Academy Award, they all have multiple Grammy Awards and they are all knights. They also happen to be three of the most successful songwriters of all time with careers that span decades. "Music of the Knights" honors their lasting musical influence with songs like "Memory," "I Don't Know How to Love Him," "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina," "The Phantom of the Opera," "Circle of Life," "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," "Your Song," "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me," "Yesterday," "Hey Jude" and many more! Relive the music of their lives with this crowd-pleasing celebration of music royalty.

Students in the The Performing Arts School at bergenPAC's Chorus will have the special opportunity to perform alongside Kelli and Scott. The young singers will provide the chorus accompaniment for several well-known and beloved musical theater songs. They will be accompanied by students from the string orchestra of the Elisabeth Morrow School.

Kelli Rabke Agresta grew up in West Orange, NJ, and had her "big break" playing the role of Dorothy in Paper Mill Playhouse's acclaimed production of The Wizard of Oz. Shortly thereafter, Andrew Lloyd Webber himself selected her to play the lead role of the Narrator in the Broadway revival of Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (US Cast Recording). Following that, she played her dream role: Eponine in Les Miserables on Broadway. She went on to perform in regional theatres around the country - Goodspeed Opera House and Ford's Theatre to name a couple - in such roles as Mabel in Mack and Mabel, Christine in Phantom, and back to Paper Mill Playhouse in Stephen Schwartz's Children of Eden as Yonah (American Premiere Recording). Kelli has been seen and heard in countless TV commercials and voice-overs, and was the voice of several animated characters, including Kat in the Discovery Kids series Kenny The Shark. She also played the recurring role of Bernadette on The Young and the Restless.

Scott Coulter is one of New York's most honored vocalists. Scott has received five MAC Awards (Manhattan Association of Cabarets & Clubs), five Bistro Awards and two Nightlife Awards for Outstanding Vocalist and has performed at most of NYC's top rooms including Birdland, 54 Below, The Oak Room at the Algonquin, and Feinstein's at The Regency where he spent a record-setting eight months performing the revue Numbers which he also co-created, directed and musically arranged. His self-titled debut CD won the 2003 MAC Award for Outstanding Recording.
