The program features many selections about love, from a swing-centered big band first half to Sinatra favorites such as “Fly Me to the Moon,” “My Way,” and “The Lady is a Tramp.” Slowing it down a little, the lush symphony POPS orchestra will perform “Lara’s Theme,” “In a Sentimental Mood,” and “The Way You Look Tonight,” The audience will find themselves humming along to familiar tune after familiar tune during this light-hearted romantic night out with the Johnstown Symphony Orchestra. In order to allow patrons plenty of time to patronize area restaurants, the JSO is pausing the pre-concert conversation series “An Invitation to the Music with James Blachly,” but will continue the new tradition of welcoming the audience with music in the lobby before the concert.
Featured vocalist Charles Wesley Evans has received high praise for his performances across the country. The New York Times calls him "An elegant, mellifluous and expressive baritone.” Combined with his screen idol good looks and outstanding stage presence, this will be an evening to remember.
