On Sunday, August 6, Michael Nowak and Orchestra Novo go Hollywood as they bring movie music to life onstage at the Alex Madonna Expo Center.
The 6th Annual Pops ON! celebrates Michael’s rich Hollywood legacy with a day of beloved movie favorites. Orchestra Novo is delighted to have KVEC’s Dave Congalton as the Master of Ceremonies.
