Atlanta Pops Performing at The Grand Theatre in downtown Cartersville

(Media release) The Grand Theatre Entertainment Series presented by Century Bank continues when The Atlanta Pops Orchestra returns to The Grand on Saturday, December 11^th at 7:00 p.m. This year's program features a blend of contemporary and familiar holiday classics. The concert also includes the fourteen-member Grand Theatre Choral Ensemble, who will perform selections from Handel's Messiah.

 

"The annual holiday concert is a Cartersville tradition, and it is a great way to kick off the holiday season", says theatre Programs Coordinator, Terri Cox.  "This will be our seventh year featuring The Atlanta Pops, and we will have some our favorite traditional pieces as well as some selections that will bring back childhood Christmas memories."

 

Cox added that The Grand has a unique relationship with The Pops in which the orchestra works with vocalists from the community.  This year's soloists are Christina Sidlow and Paul Hartsell. Sidlow is in her senior year as a vocal performance major at Shorter College and has been featured several times on The Grand's stage.  Hartsell is the current leader of praise music at Sam Jones United Methodist Church and has performed in numerous musical theatre productions.
