For many years, Maestro Luke has been OBSESSED with an album that came out in 1960- Kay Starr’s Movin on Broadway. What makes this album so special is that Kay took classic Broadway songs and reimagined them in such a way that you feel like you’re transported back to the most sexy days of supper clubs and cocktail parties-almost like walking onto the set of Mad Men. You can’t help but move when you hear these versions of songs you know and love! APO will be joined by 4 of Broadway's best singers as well as 8 top dancers from 8 different Broadway shows-choreographed by one of the brightest lights in dance! (Insert Robbie Fairchild when we can-but until then leave without) This is a once in a lifetime chance to step back in time to relive the golden age of music and dance in a concert you can’t miss!
The American Pops Orchestra has made it a priority to not only maintain Pre-COVID content in a virtual form, but also create new content to keep our audience engaged and our musicians employed. As an organization that strives to break the mold of concerts, we are using COVID-19 to reimagine our normal operations. Since March we have streamed two full original concerts, created solo performances by instrumentalist and vocalists, rethought our Music and Mindfulness series as a more often and virtual event, and partnered with organizations across the country in our virtual trivia series.
In addition, APO has held multiple in-person socially distanced outdoor Porch Concerts that provide our audience with the opportunity to safely see live art despite the current situation around us. Throughout the pandemic, APO has employed hundreds of musicians and artists and in a time when many other organizations couldn’t. In the words of Maestro Luke Frazier, “we never stopped.”
Moving forward, APO is proud to present our NextGen National vocal competition which will include students from across the country competing virtually for the chance to win a monetary prize and the opportunity to perform in a future APO MainStage Show. This will include a virtual audition and semi-finals with a live (COVID permitting) finals in Spring of 2021. APO has also filmed multiple productions that will be broadcast nationally on PBS. APO has been grateful to keep creating and making music despite the limitations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and will keep working to bring you, our valued audience, original and unique content.
