Boogie Woogie Pops 1930’s & 1940’s: Music of the Greatest Generation

About This Show

Join The Phoenix Symphony for a celebration of America and Americana reminiscent of the U.S.O. shows of yesteryear. In anticipation of Memorial Day, Boogie Woogie Pops 1930’s & 1940’s: Music of the Greatest Generation brings together the inspirational works of American wartime songwriters and composers, many of whom entertained and lifted morale among American forces overseas as well as friends and family members on the home front. From America the Beautiful and Stars and Stripes Forever to Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, this will be a rousing tribute and remembrance of the men and women of our Armed Forces and the music of The Greatest Generation.

Loras John Schissel, Conductor
