Modesto Symphony Orchestra Performs
The Great American Songbook
March 17th
March 17 – Modesto Symphony Orchestra performs the greatest hits made famous by Frank Sinatra, Cole Porter, and more!
MODESTO, CA – The Modesto Symphony Orchestra (MSO), led by Principal Pops Conductor Ryan Murray will perform The Great American Songbook on Friday, March 17th at 7:30 pm at the Gallo Center for the Arts in Modesto. Broadway star, Ryan Silverman who previously performed with the MSO in 2019, swings back into town to croon your favorite jazz standards!
“The Great American Songbook is a collection of jazz standards, popular music, and musical theater from the early part of the 20th century. Music that has withstood the test of time. In fact, Tony Bennett calls the Great American Songbook, ‘America’s classical music.’ It features some of our most beloved composers and singers like Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Rodgers and Hammerstein, and Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Sammy Davis Jr, and Judy Garland,” says Principal Pops Conductor Ryan Murray, “It was so fun to work with Ryan Silverman to create this program featuring so many of our favorite songs. Ryan is an incredible artist and I have such great memories of our Holiday Pops together back in 2019. He moves effortlessly between jazz, musical theater and popular music and you are sure to be transported back to this golden era of song!”
The Great American Songbook headliner, Ryan Silverman, has performed with numerous major American orchestras including the Seattle Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, Houston Symphony, and the New York Pops in Carnegie Hall with previous MSO Principal Pops Conductor Steven Reineke. He previously performed with the Modesto Symphony Orchestra for their Holiday Pops! concert in December 2019.
