How do you portray democracy through the arts? That question was the inspiration for Visions of America and the collaboration between famed Grammy Award-winning pianist/conductor Peter Nero, renowned Americana photographer Joseph Sohm, and Grammy Award-winning pianist/composer Roger Kellaway. Visions of America paints a portrait of America by choreographing Sohm's photographs to stirring traditional and new music performed by Peter Nero and the Philly Pops, resulting in a photo symphony that celebrates the sights and songs of democracy. With the world premiere taking place at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia on January 25, 2009, five days after America inaugurates its new president, Visions of America is a post-inaugural celebration for the people that marks a unique time in the nation's history. Visions of America unfolds for audiences as a visual and musical journey through the 50 states over three musical-movements and 13 'Mosaics' (visualized-songs). Nero, who is the founding music director of the Philly Pops, will conduct the world premiere of original music composed by Kellaway to support Sohm's stunning visuals. Kellaway, a fellow jazz pianist, has been friends with Nero for 50 years. Legendary lyricists Alan and Marilyn Bergman (best known for their Grammy and Academy Award-winning work with Barbra Streisand) collaborated with Kellaway on two new songs, written specifically for this program and performed by 2008 Grammy Award-winning vocalist Patti Austin. The concert is preceded by a video introduction by Pennsylvania Governor Edmund G. Rendell, who acknowledges Peter Nero on the 30th anniversary of his Philly Pops.
