On November 2, 2024, at 7 pm, the Plainfield Symphony Orchestra will present a much anticipated “Americana Pops Concert” featuring one of our audience favorite vocal artists, tenor Brian Cheney. Maestro Charles Prince will lead the orchestra in a series of popular American orchestral and vocal works.
Orchestral program selections will include A Tribute to the Duke (Ellington) featuring “Caravan,” “In a Sentimental Mood” and “Sophisticated Lady” and Leroy Anderson’s “The Syncopated Clock” and “Bugler’s Holiday.” From Broadway musicals, we will hear selections from Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s South Pacific as well as Stephen Sondheim’s A Little Night Music: Suite for Orchestra. Other iconic Americana pieces will include “Hoe-Down” from Aaron Copland’s ballet Rodeo and the rousing “The Stars and Stripes Forever” by John Philip Sousa.
“Hailed by KUSC Los Angeles as the ‘next great tenor,’ Brian Cheney, a protégé of legendary tenor Jerry Hadley, has gained international acclaim for his versatility as a true crossover artist.” He is equally at home in both Musical Theater and Classical genres. Brian will be treating our audience to a number of beloved songs from several operettas and Broadway musicals.
Please join us in person on November 2 to experience the riveting performance of Brian Cheney and bask in some of the great and uniquely American musical gems.
