It’s beginning to sound a lot like Christmas at Carnegie Hall.
The New York Pops, the largest independent pops orchestra in the United States, is a staple throughout the nation and New York. They’ll be appearing at the legendary city venue this weekend for a jazz-filled Christmas show featuring hits by Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, and Rosemary Clooney.
Friday and Saturday, Music Director Steven Reineke will lead the orchestra, along with critically acclaimed vocalists John Pizzarelli and Jessica Molaskey, for “John Pizzarelli and Jessica Molaskey Wish You a Swingin’ Christmas.”
“The Swingin’ Christmas idea came about because of the style of music John does. But also, I grew up loving Ella Fitzgerald’s album, Ella Wishes You a Swingin’ Christmas. I wanted to do something with that same sort of vibe,” Reineke said.
