Cynthia Erivo, Orville Peck (& the Shark from 'Jaws') Celebrate Keith Lockhart's 30 Years with the Boston Pops this Spring
READ TIME: 10 MIN.
June 5's Pride Night with Orville Peck kicks off to Boston Pride month, an annual citywide celebration for the LGBTQ+ community and its allies. Last year's inaugural Pride Night starred Thorgy Thor of "RuPaul's Drag Race," who amazed the audience with skills as a classical violinist and a hilarious advocate of all things drag. This year's guest queer superstar Orville Peck whose vocals brings to mind Johnny Cash, but whose style, which includes nearly always being masked, is uniquely his own. He has said that his wearing of a mask is out of love of The Lone Ranger. The GLAAD media award winner keeps expanding his horizons – just prior to Pride Night, he will be making his debut as the Emcee in the current (and very in-your-face) revival of "Cabaret" on Broadway.
An event some 30 years in the making takes place on June 6 when an array of celebrities and guest performers including Michael Feinstein and Mandy Gonzalez. The evening will be staged by award-winning director Jason Danieley of Broadway's "Pretty Woman" and "Curtains," who has worked with Lockhart on the hugely successful concert performance of "Ragtime" two seasons the Pops looks back at Keith's three decades with the Pops and celebrates with the music of his favorite American composer, George Gershwin, among other selections. Video tributes and archival film, interspersed during the concert, promise a memorable night of musicmaking.
Returning for its 31st year on June 7, Gospel Night brings GRAMMY®-winner Tamela Mann and award-winning singer, actor and comedian David Mann for their Pops debut with conductor Charles Floyd and the Boston Pops Gospel Choir. The Manns helped shape the sound of gospel music in the '90s, bringing it to mainstream audiences, and have become iconic, beloved characters in the Tyler Perry franchise.
