“`There is absolutely no debate. MGM provided decades of movie music that was memorable. Its cinema soundtrack is their lasting legacy.

“`Michael Feinstein will open the vault of MGM film magic for a Pasadena POPS symphony season finale. This live concert takes place at the Los Angeles Arboretum in Arcadia on September 14th. Your invited to attend at 5:30p for picnicking. The event starts at 7:30p.

“`Celebrate the eightieth anniversary of The Wizard Of Oz with the original arrangements from the classic soundtrack, including If I Only Had a Brain, Over the Rainbow and The Cyclone. Plus, enjoy classic scores, such as That’s Entertainment, Singing in the Rain, The Trolley Song, and so much more!

“`In 2007, Feinstein founded the Great American Songbook Foundation, which celebrates and preserves the art form through educational programs and their annual High School Songbook Academy.  Michael also serves on the Library of Congress’ National Recording Preservation Board, an organization dedicated to ensuring the survival, conservation, and increased public availability of America’s sound recording heritage.

The POPS season finale provides the quintessential Feinstein experience with Broadway’s best singers, dancers, vintage costumes from Hollywood Revisited, and rare original arrangements from the golden age of the silver screen, as only Michael Feinstein can deliver.

“`What a great way to celebrate the end of summer.

Until next time>                               “never forget”
