Join the Michigan Pops Orchestra for their 2011-2012 season!
Welcome again to another great semester with the Michigan Pops Orchestra! This semester, the Michigan Pops Orchestra presents POPS IN PERIL on March 25, 2012 at 7:00pm in the Michigan Theater led by Music Directors Matthew Dell and Anthony Kim. After having heard various pieces from your favorite stories, possibly ones from your childhood bedside, we venture off into the land of dreams, or what is the opposite of Neverland, a nightmare. The Pops orchestra will be performing pieces that could very well accompany a nightmare or dream, depending how you opinionate your subconscious brain, where you cannot run away from the very slow monster or the math teacher who gives you impossible problems all night long. Pieces such as Shostakovich 5th Symphony Movement 4 or famous tunes from Star Wars, Bernstein's On the Town, Bizet's L'Arlésienna Suite No. 2, and several Broadway pieces will bring a thrilling experience to everyone. We will also be world premiering music from the movie Inception, so bolster up your subconscious defenses or we might plant an extreme idea in your head!
