Emerson Hospital Auxiliary Hosts 38th Annual Pops Concert on April 12 in Concord

The Emerson Hospital Auxiliary will hold its spring Pops concert on Saturday, April 12 at 8 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center, 51 Walden St. in Concord.

The Concord Band will perform an exciting “Swing into Spring” program. Conductor James O’Dell will kick off his fifth season with the Concord Band by welcoming returning jazz vocalist Amanda Carr, a multi-styled vocalist/pianist who began her career in her early teens. For more than three decades, she has performed and recorded both in the U.S. and Italy. According to Nat Hentoff of The Wall Street Journal, “Amanda is a pianist and composer, she sings and swings with the unaffected confidence of a genuine jazz improviser. She is an authentic musician.”

Individual sponsorships for the event are available by donating $50-$99 for Soloist level; $100-$149 for Chamber level; $150-$249 for Maestro level; and $250+ for Encore level.
