MUSIC FACTORY, pop singers. 7:30 Henderson to conduct Philharmonic | The Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic along with Thomson Consumer Electronics welcome legendary Pops conductor Skitch Henderson back to the era to con- duct music of the big band area. On Friday, April 19 in Wilkes- Barre's Kirby Center and Satur- day, April 20, in Scranton's Ma- sonic Temple, the music of Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey and many more of the big band greats, comes alive. Performances begin at 8 p.m. Highlights include “Caravan,” and “Moon Indigo” by the great Duke Ellington, “Anything Goes,” and “Just One of Those Things” by Cole Porter and Kurt Weill's “Mack the Knife.” As sponsor of this event, Thom- son Consumer Electronics also has a special connection with Skitch. RCA was owner of NBC during Henderson's years as music direc- tor of the Today and Tonight Show Orchestras. Thomson, through its purchase of RCA/GE consumer electronics, manufactures video and audio products worldwide. Often referred to as the con- summate musician and enter- tainer, Skitch Henderson has conducted virtually every orches- tra in the United States. Through- out his career, he has worked with such Hollywood legends as Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby. A critic in Pittsburgh summed it up when he said, “The Pittsburgh Symphony Pops would have to search far and wide to find a more qualified stroller down memory lane than Skitch Hender- son.” He is the music director and founder of the New York Pops, now in their eighth successful season at Carnegie Hall and serves as principal pops conductor for sev- eral other orchestras around the United States including the Flor- ida and Louisville Orchestras. SKITCH HENDERSON Many may remember Hender- son as conductor of the Scranton Philharmonic in the late 1940's “and early 50's. As music director of NBC's Today and Tonight Show Orchestra's in New York City, Skitch would bring along some of his own players including a young trumpet player named Doc Sever- insen to play with the local Or- chestra. Itis therefore most appro- priate that the Philharmonic and Thomson bring this now legendary conductor and musician back to Northeastern Pennsylvania to per- form the music that defined an era - music of the big bands.
