Preconcert at 6 PM: Holland Concert Jazz Orchestra
Joan Ellison, Vocalist • Mark Alpizar, Conductor
A “rare combination of artist, archivist, and arranger” (Michael Feinstein), songstress Joan Ellison is the restorer of Garland’s original orchestral arrangements for the Judy Garland Heirs Trust, bringing musical authenticity and a lifelong love for Judy to the stage. Add the lush sound of your Holland Symphony Orchestra under the baton of former Cleveland Pops conductor Mark Alpízar, the Get Happy! A Judy Garland Celebration concert brings Judy Garland’s original symphonic arrangements back to life through a nostalgic trip from technicolor Hollywood to Carnegie Hall! The hit parade includes “The Trolley Song,” “The Man That Got Away,” “Get Happy,” “Come Rain or Come Shine,” “Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart,” “Stormy Weather,” “The Boy Next Door,” “Chicago,” and, of course, “Over the Rainbow.”
