The New York Pops, led by Music Director and Conductor Steven Reineke will return to Carnegie Hall for Get Happy: That Nelson Riddle Sound on Friday, February 4, 2022 at 8:00 p.m. in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage, joined by jazz artist Tony DeSare and Broadway star Capathia Jenkins. The concert celebrates American arranger-composer Nelson Riddle, whose orchestrations were recorded by some of the 20th century's most iconic voices, such as Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and Judy Garland. All songs on the program feature Riddle's original arrangements and orchestrations; selections include "Night and Day", "Strike Up the Band", "I've Got You Under My Skin", and "I've Got the World on a String".

"Nelson Riddle's unique arrangements have given us the definitive versions of some of the most iconic songs of American popular music," said New York Pops Music Director and Conductor Steven Reineke. "I'm delighted to celebrate Riddle's work with my friends Tony DeSare and Capathia Jenkins, two vocalists who capture the spirit and tone of Riddle's legendary collaborators."
