One week ago, agent Doug Whiteman, friends Sherry and Steve Litwack, former Boston Pops Artistic Administrator Amanda Severin, and I met at Symphony Hall in Boston to enjoy one of the Boston Pops’ Holiday Pops concerts. (It is fortunate the meeting was one week ago as I might not have made it to Boston during our current winter storm.)
The Pops had featured Tomie’s artwork for two seasons of Holiday Pops concerts. Tomie even sat on stage at one concert to read THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
This year the Pops featured Tomie’s book THE NIGHT OF LAS POSADAS. The concert was wonderful and Sherry, Steve, and I, who accompanied Tomie to the first concert, recalled how emotional he was the first time he saw his illustrations projected to billboard size.
The concert is now available for streaming as of today for a limited time. The cost is $25.00. You will be prompted to register for the site. Warning: I found the site a bit challenging, but that might have been due to my own limited technical skills at play
