Amanda Palmer Boston Pops perform Poker Face

January 26th, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

Earlier this year I arranged Lady Gaga’s Poker Face for orchestra. Well, on New Year’s Day Amanda Palmer performed it with the Boston Pops.

It was a monumental moment – a true look into bringing the orchestra back, and integrating the arts. We had 120 musicians on stage, 20 Lady Gaga burlesque dancers from The SlutCracker, a lightshow in the background, and a full house at the Boston Symphony Hall

Then the time hit Midnight and everyone celebrated with hugs, kisses, wine, dancing, whistles, and more as the music began to play again. I was there with Stephanie Stetson who works with Maestro Benjamin Zander and we had a great time.

It was an amazing performance, with more to come!



It’s difficult, but The support has been awesome – thanks!

Feel free to check out my music, or at least spreading it on Twitter, Facebook, or email.
