Erich Kunzel conducts "Broadway Today"

Kunzel The Southwest Florida Symphony, conducted by Maestro Erich Kunzel, presents "Broadway Today" Jan. 18 and 19 at 8 p.m. at the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall. Featuring the Symphony orchestra, chorus, Children's Chorus and special guest vocalists Kristen Bracken, Mark Willett and Steve Mazurek, the concert features selections from such blockbusters as "Wicked," "Mamma Mia," "Rent," "Miss Saigon," "Jersey Boys," "The Wiz" and more.

Back again by popular demand, the magnetic and energetic Kunzel propelled the Cincinnati Pops to international recognition and placed 'orchestral pops' mainstream. Celebrating his 50th anniversary of his conducting debut, Kunzel's last appearance with the Southwest Florida Symphony was a near sellout.

Single tickets are $15 - $50. To order tickets, call the Symphony Box Office Monday - Friday, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. at 418-1500 or order on line at www.swflso. org. The Pops Series final concert is "Mambo Nights with Tito Puente, Jr.", March 7 and 8 directed by Music Director Michael Hall.
