I didn't care for the rap/poetry artists, nor did I like the selection of music. The maestra kept calling the vocalist "Inman;" his name is Niman. This performance was not up to the Pops' usual standards.

Wonderful setting and well played music by both orchestra and guest performers. Mistria Worby and company are worth a return visit. Hopefully they will offer more dates through Goldstar.
