Pops Series V Finale: A Tribute To The Music Of Frank Sinatra
Las Vegas Philharmonic
Matt Catingub, conductor, host and vocalist
Steve Moretti, drummer
On December 15, 1915 Francis Albert Sinatra was born in Hoboken, New Jersey. For our 2014-15 season finale we say "Happy 100th, Frank!" and pay musical homage to the artist whose voice, name and style left an indelible imprint on our city's soul. Matt Catingub returns to present this special tribute featuring his very own arrangements of classic hits by Sinatra. In the early 1960s Frank personally signed Matt's mother, Mavis Rivers, to his Reprise Records label. Noting this unique connection, Matt shares his recollections and musical memories of the greatest singer of his generation.
Tickets $26, $46, $66 & $96 available from The Smith Center Box Office, phone 702.749.2000 or online at lvphil.org.
