The American Festival Pops Orchestra returns with a delightful program of favorites from Broadway, cinema, and television, as well as patriotic music honoring our nation. This evening of inspiring music celebrates the immense talent of our great American composers such as John Williams, Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, and John Phillip Sousa. Founder and artistic director, Anthony Maiello—who is also Associate Director of Mason’s School of Music—has brought together this fantastic orchestra of 60 talented musicians from the D.C. area. The orchestra will be joined by Lisa Vroman, hailed as “a musical and theatrical marvel” by The San Francisco Chronicle to perform some of the most memorable and cherished music of the 20th century.
