Edmonton, AB ’Ķ Your Edmonton Symphony Orchestra is once again offering an electrifying lineup of Robbins Pops concerts in the 2009-2010 performance season. On September 25th & 26th, our ever-popular series kicks off and brings Pops master Jack Everly back to the Winspear Centre. With an all-star cast of singers and dancers joining your ESO in That 70s Showcase - Disco Days and Boogie Nights, it will be a night to remember, groovin’Äô and shakin’Äô to your favourite tunes in our salute to a decade.

No matter what crowd you ran with in the 70s, we’Äôve got the music to match. Vocalists Chapter 6, N’ÄôKenge, Farah Alvin, and Anne Beck perform disco anthems like I Will Survive, monster rock hits like Bohemian Rhapsody, plus familiar show-stopping medleys from the likes of ABBA and The Bee Gees. They’Äôre all blended into a one-of-a-kind show of memories and magic as only conductor and host Jack Everly can present.

Dust off those polyester suits, polish up those platform shoes, and boogie on down to the Winspear Centre Box Office for tickets. Ticket prices range from $24 ’Äì $79 (agency fees apply). Call (780) 428-1414 or purchase online at www.edmontonsymphony.com.

The next performance of the Robbins Pops series takes place on October 30th & 31st, as your ESO, conductor Bruce Hangen, and a creepy cast present a ghoulish evening of spine-tingling music in Halloween: The Concert.

This series is generously supported by Bill and Mary Jo Robbins.
Friday evening’Äôs performance is generously sponsored by Sobeys.
