About the Concert
Disco was the sound of the ‘70s, and it still has the power to get us movin’ and groovin’. Celebrate those disco days and boogie nights with a cast of New York’s top performers, singing and dancing to the decade’s super-hits. With Guest Conductor Ernest Richardson at the podium, the evening will start and end with disco classics, with ’70s hits by Abba, The Eagles, Simon and Garfunkel, and more in between. If you remember the days when Rocky was a box-office smash, Donna Summer was the queen of the air waves, and Beethoven had his first top-40 hit, this is the Pops experience for you!
Pre-show discusssion at 2 PM.
