Daily News | Philly Pops: the last Christmas Show. Or is it?
A deep, resonant round of boos isn’t the sort of thing you’re usually happy to hear at the Philly Pops . But these weren’t jeers — rather, it was a wave of loss and love that sounded through Saturday’s audience after Pops music director David Charles Abell reminded them that the group will be disappearing at the end of the season.
And yet you couldn’t help feel at Saturday afternoon’s opening that maybe it’s time for a refresh. Despite some strong ingredients — Broadway vocalists Mandy Gonzalez and Jordan Donica, and the Philadelphia Boys Choir, among them — a certain lack of surprise has beset this tradition. An arrangement of “Do You Hear What I Hear?” with the St. Thomas voices and Gonzalez kept the energy up. The song, written in 1962 as a plea for peace during the Cuban missile crisis, seemed apt in this Stephen K. Hand arrangement.
