When Stuart Chafetz conducted his “Riffer Madness” last season, the standing ovation audience wanted much more of the huge, new rock ‘n’ roll band that he had just created with The Philly POPS. He’s back with his cover of the ’80s — the decade that saw an explosion of new music and the advent of MTV! Featuring music by Michael Jackson, George Michael, Huey Lewis & The News, Blondie, and Cyndi Lauper, the set list includes Cher’s “If I Could Turn Back Time” and this program does just that. “Wake Me Up Before You Go”, a spectacular King of POP medley, “Call Me”, and “True Colors” are sure to leave us all “Addicted to Love!” Singer, TV star, and comedian Nicole Parker of Wicked fame joins Broadway’s Aaron Finley as featured vocalists.

Philadelphia has a storied history with America’s musical art form: Jazz. This program visits the past — the sounds of North, South, and West Philly, and the music of John Coltrane, Stanley Clarke, and especially Philly-born Billie Holiday. This new January series will celebrate a particular kind of Philly sound — the jazz of the ’40s and ’50s with Temple University’s internationally-acclaimed jazz trumpeter Terell Stafford. Terell conducts the All-City Jazz Orchestra honor band as part the School District’s All-City Jazz Festival that’s presented by the POPS, leads the Jazz Orchestra of Philadelphia, and serves as Temple’s Director of Jazz Studies and Chair of Instrumental Studies.
