New York Pops to Honor Les Misérables Scribes Boublil and Schönberg

Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, the Tony Award-winning songwriters behind Les Misérables and Miss Saigon, will be honored at the New York Pops 33rd Birthday Gala on May 2, 2016, at Carnegie Hall. The evening, which will feature a star-studded lineup of talent, will be conducted by Pops Musical Director Steven Reineke.

"Claude-Michel and I are humbled and grateful that The New York Pops has selected us as Music Honorees for its 33rd Birthday Gala next May," Boublil said in a statement. "We are very excited to work with Steven Reineke to put together an exciting orchestral program showcasing work from across our careers. It is always a great joy to hear the dream version of your songs performed as you have imagined them, with a full orchestra bringing the rich, lush sonorities to life, and sung by some of today’s most gifted performers."

Boublil and Schönberg are also the coauthors of the musicals La Révolution Française, Martin Guerre, The Pirate Queen, and Marguerite.

Following the concert, there will be a black-tie dinner-dance at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
