Joan Ellison, Songstress and Judy Garland Restorationist, Joins the Club

Suncoast Culture Club

In 2016, she embarked on a mission to restore Judy Garland's original orchestrations, culminating in a song-for-song recreation of Garland's 1961 Carnegie Hall concert. At Michael Feinstein's invitation, she serves as Editor of the Judy Garland Carnegie Hall Concert Restoration Project for the Judy Garland Heirs Trust. Recently, she was given the privilege of restoring the newly-discovered MGM film arrangement of Over the Rainbow. And now, she will be performing these incredible arrangements with the Pops Orchestra of Bradenton and Sarasota.
Join Robyn and Joan Ellison as they talk about Joan's amazing life and career, the painstaking recreation of the orchestral arrangements of Judy Garland's songs, and why she's never seen Renée Zellweger's movie JUDY.
Then, go get your tickets to the Pops Orchestra's performances with Joan on Sunday, March 26 at 3:00 p.m. at the Riverview Performing Arts Center in Sarasota and Monday, March 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the SCF Neel Performing Arts Center in Bradenton.
You can get your tickets at ThePopsOrchestra.org or by calling 941-926-7677.
