ASO to play Pops concert

Show tunes "From Broadway to Hollywood" will resonate through the Mishler Theatre as the Altoona Symphony Orchestra presents its first Pops concert of the season at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.

The concert, titled "From Broadway to Hollywood," will feature selections of music from "The Sound of Music," "My Fair Lady," "Evita," "Cats," "Chica-go" and "Les Miserables."

Maestra Teresa Cheung will give the audience a brief history of each piece as she conducts.

"There's a lot of correlation between Broadway and Holly-wood," she said. "People think (shows) mostly go from Broad-way to Hollywood, but a lot of times they actually went ... from Hollywood to Broadway."

The Pops series is popular with audiences, said Brooke Welsh, ASO executive director.

"Our Pops series tends to sell better ... and dthat's typical," Welsh said. "People can relate to it."

Tickets are $27, $17 and $10. Call 943-2500.
