Before intermission, Ms. Callaway graces the stage joining the Maestro and his orchestra to perform three timeless standards-'Lover, Come Back to Me,' 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow,' and 'Pick Yourself Up.'
The second half of the evening finds the sublime Ms. Callaway front and center with our very own Peter Nero leading The POPS from the keyboard. Sentimental favorites by America's greatest songwriters, including Cole Porter ('From This Moment On' and 'Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love'); Rodgers and Hart ('With a Song in My Heart'); George and Ira Gershwin ('The Man I Love'); and Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer ('Blues in the Night') are featured alongside Ms. Callaway's own remarkable songs. As a special treat, Ms. Callaway shares her impressive improvisational skills each night as she takes words and phrases from the audience to create a one-of-a-kind song on the spot.
