American Pops Orchestra Looks For The Voices Of Tomorrow
The next Michael Bublé or Idina Menzel could be discovered but it'll depend on the audience's votes when the American Pops Orchestra presents the third annual "NextGen: Finding the Voices of Tomorrow."
"We think it's important that the best college singers throughout the Mid-Atlantic have a chance to explore the Great American Songbook and perform these treasured songs before enthusiastic fans," says Luke Frazier, APO's conductor. "Best of all, the performer who receives the most votes will return to sing with the full APO during a future concert."

SEMI-FINALS: Friday, April 24 at 8:00 pm EDT
