Then, on June 7th: Popspourri!
 Join us for our spring concert! We have an eclectic mix this go round — a veritable “potpourri” of musical goodness! From the popular music genre we have "Journey’s Greatest Hits" and Gloria Estefan’s "Let’s Get Loud." From the land of movie music, we offer "How to Train Your Dragon," John Williams’ ever-popular "Cantina Band" from Star Wars, and "Somewhere in Time," from the 1980 film of the same title starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. We’re also carrying over our winter concert hits with the video game theme "Super Mario Bros 3 – Overworld." Rounding out the mix is Soon Hee Newbold’s majestic"Angel City," and Jeffrey Bishop’s mysterious "Aethelinda" (meaning “dragon” in Old English). The highlight of our program will be the premiere of a work commissioned by the Pops from composer Dr. Jennifer Stevenson, written especially for the orchestra, entitled "Return to Joy." Sunday, June 7, 2:00PM
