Sparks will fly when vocalist Joan Ellison brings the Golden Age of studio recording back to life with a swinging celebration of the most dazzling singers, songwriters, and arrangers of the mid-twentieth century.
Joan Ellison is a celebrated vocalist and stage performer who has appeared in more than 70 symphony concerts across the U.S. and Europe. While she is widely known for her acclaimed interpretations of Judy Garland’s music, her career spans orchestral pops, musical theatre, cabaret, and recording. In addition to performing, Joan is a recording artist, educator, and passionate advocate for preserving classic American songbook arrangements.
The timeless hits of the night will include Rosemary Clooney’s “April in Paris,” Peggy Lee’s “What a Little Moonlight Can Do,” Lena Horne’s “Can’t Help Lovin’ That Man of Mine,” Judy Garland’s “When The Sun Comes Out,” Ella Fitzgerald’s “’S Wonderful,” Doris Day’s “It’s Magic,” Eydie Gormé’s “Johnny One-Note,” Keely Smith’s “When Your Lover Has Gone,” and many more, featuring the original arrangements by Nelson Riddle, Conrad Salinger, and Paul Weston.
Through melody and memory, JCSO invites you on a nostalgic journey that reminds us how music connects generations and holds our stories.
