WHEELING -- Start spreadin' the news - the music of Ol' Blue Eyes comes to the Capitol Theatre with the Wheeling Symphony Orchestra's Sinatra & Beyond, a dynamic performance featuring the music of Frank Sinatra as performed by the WSO and guest artist Tony DeSare.
The show takes place at 7:30 p.m. today, Friday, April 26.
Sinatra & Beyond will feature crooner classics such as "Come Fly with Me," "I've Got the World On a String," "I Get A Kick Out of You," "New York, New York," and "My Way."
"I am so excited to continue our Pops series with Sinatra & Beyond," WSO Music Director John Devlin said. "Our community has such a strong tie to Italian heritage, and being Italian myself, I am thrilled to pay tribute to one of the most iconic Italian Americans in history. Sinatra's music is timeless, and I know our audience will be beyond impressed with Tony DeSare and how he breathes new life into Sinatra's songbook."
Named a Rising Star Male Vocalist in Downbeat magazine, DeSare has achieved this distinction by winning critical and popular acclaim for his concert performances throughout North America and abroad.
From jazz clubs to Carnegie Hall to Las Vegas headlining with Don Rickles and major symphony orchestras, DeSare has brought his fresh take on old-school class around the globe. DeSare has three top ten Billboard jazz albums under his belt and has been featured on CBS's "The Early Show," NPR, A Prairie Home Companion, and the "Today Show."
DeSare has also collaborated with YouTube icons Postmodern Jukebox.
In addition to the performance, an after-party fundraiser will be held at the Bridge Tavern across the street from the Capitol Theatre. Admission to the after-party is $100 and includes late-night appetizers, a wine bar and desserts.
