Johnny Mathis

2011-12 Pops Series

The 1958 greatest hits album of three-time Grammy-nominated Johnny Mathis spent more than 490 continuous weeks (almost ten years) on the Billboard Top Albums chart. Now this legendary icon joins the Columbus Symphony for an evening of romantic ballads, classic standards, and the best of Broadway. “Chances Are” it’s an evening not to be missed!

Disney In Concert

Magical Music from the Movies

2011-12 Pops Series

Albert-George Schram, conductor

Come be enchanted by Disney in Concert: Magical Music from the Movies with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, conductor Albert-George Schram, projected clips, still cells, and storyboard art from the films, plus four leading vocalists. Every new generation has a favorite Disney musical, whether it's The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Aladdin, or The Lion King. And then there are the classics, from a Mary Poppins medley to the "Yo ho" of Pirates of the Caribbean. When everyone joins together for memorable moments and melodies that Mouseketeers of all ages know by heart, it feels like a small world, after all.
