Both musical groups will perform a one-night show at Glenbrook South on Sunday Sept. 9.
The following release was provided by the New Tradition Chorus.
Given the overwhelming success of last year's joint concert to commemorate the events of September 11, the Northbrook Symphony Orchestra (NSO) and the New Tradition Chorus (TNT) are planning to join forces once again for a unique, All-American "POPS" concert. The special, one-time performance will take place at 4 PM on Sunday, September 9th, at Glenbrook South High School.
Entitled "The Glenbrook Pops - A Tribute to American Music," the concert will focus on celebrating our country's unique musical style, history and heritage. Consisting entirely of music of American-born composers, each group will perform certain pieces individually, and then come together for several combined pieces, including an "Old Songs Medley" and "Armed Forces Medley".
