One Voice: The Songs We Share

About the Show

Join us and the American Pops Orchestra as we celebrate uniquely American music that has transcended its original genre and audience. Music once only performed in church adapted by Elvis, Johnny Cash, Aretha Franklin to be shared beyond the walls of the sanctuary; Broadway show tunes recorded by the Rat Pack, Johnny Mathis and other chart-topping artists of the time, as well as musical theater songs being sung outside the theater as anthems giving a broader voice to our changing society.
