Atlanta Pops to perform at EGC
This year, in addition to its normal complement of musicians, the orchestra will feature the unique and energetic Bobby Yang and his Unrivaled Players. Violinist Bobby Yang is reinventing the sound of the acoustic violin. Melding his classical training with years of Colorado mountain woodshedding, Yang's inimitable sound combines the passion of a violin with the dirt of a bluegrass fiddle and the rawness of a guitar. He has surrounded himself with musicians who share his madness, his Unrivaled Players, while touring nationally. When Bobby Yang isn't performing with his Unrivaled Players, he is performing with actor Kevin Costner as the full-time fiddler in Costner's new band, Modern West.
The 11 a.m. performance is entitled "A Program of Classical and Classical Rock Music" and will perform selections such as Eine Kleine Rock Music, Nocturne in Eb, Purple Rain, Feelings, Bohemian Rhapsody, Kashmir, 12th Street Rag, and Lone Ranger Theme. The more extensive performance at 7 p.m. will include some of the same selections in addition to Tom Sawyer, Big Band Salute, Barber of Seville Overture, Bittersweet Symphony, Spanish Eyes, and a television Western medley. Both performances are free and open to the public.
