The “loverly” soprano’s voice can be heard in a startling range of films, from the high notes she touched up for Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes to the garden of Singing Flowers in Walt Disney’s animated Alice in Wonderland.

November 8, 2015 at 3 p.m., in the Meagher Theatre of the Thomas A Bruder, Jr. Life Center at Neumann University, Aston, PA. This concert has a very special ticket price of $5 for all ages, for all seats and it is appropriate for all age levels from age 5 to age 85. This concert will be under the baton of Dr. Robert Whalen, Assistant Conductor of the Delaware County Symphony. In his own words he tell us: “I invite you to bring the whole family to this fun, engaging program exploring how and why music unites, uplifts, and transforms us. It will feature music of Schubert, Beethoven, Bach, Mahler, and others. It walks the audience through the elements of music one by one with rhythm and melody and harmony. The idea behind the program is that chamber music is something very different than orchestral music. It is all about the individuals on stage listening and collaborating with each other as individuals not just part of a larger organization so the focus is on listening and in collaborating. I think that’s a skill that we all can work on especially young people. The audience will see and hear musicians trading ideas with each other and be actively engaged in the musical experience. The program features musicians of the DCS, and YOU, the audience. Yes, you will be an integral part of the performance! Let’s put it this way, if you’ve ever secretly wished to sing Beethoven’s Ode to Joy, then See Delaware County Symphony Family-Friendly Concert on page 5
