Television, stage and singing sensation Megan Mullally and Tony Award-nominated Broadway star Brian d’Arcy James headline the Chorale’s final concerts of the 2003|04 season — The New Broadway: Sondheim and Generation Next. Grant Gershon conducts the music of a new generation of musical theatre composers who have been inspired by the genius of Pulitzer, Oscar and Tony Award-winning composer Stephen Sondheim.
The program features music from Parade by Jason Robert Brown, Floyd Collins by Adam Guettel, and Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd, Sunday in the Park with George and A Little Night Music, as well as various works by Ricky Ian Gordon.
“I’m very excited to share with our audience the musical genius of Stephen Sondheim along with the talents of a new generation of composers who are re-energizing the theatre scene, writing some of the most compelling vocal music in any medium,” says Gershon.
Concert sponsor: The Tuesday concert is sponsored by Mellon 1st Business Bank.
This concert is dedicated to Chairman Edward J. McAniff in gratitude for his generous and extraordinary service over 17 years.
