1) We lost a good man on Monday with the passing of Marvin Hamlisch. Hamlisch was a singular sensation. He won many awards in several different categories. Grammy, Emmy, Oscar, Tony, Pulitzer were all in his trophy case! We were lucky to have his great personality and magnificent talent here in Pittsburgh as the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra’s Pops conductor. As a suggested tribute to Hamlisch, go out and see a play, enjoy a concert or make a donation to your favorite arts organization. Marvin, thanks for being a Pittsburgher!
2) Broadway at the Overlook from CITIPARKS features performers from Pittsburgh Musical Theater, putting on musical theater productions set against the sweeping backdrop of Pittsburgh as seen from the West End/Elliott Overlook Amphitheater.

4) 70’s Geographic Super Group Pick #2 – Dust in the Wind, Carry on Wayward Son, Point of Know Return are all mega hits from Kansas.
