Poinsettia Pops Concert To Feature Jazz Vocalist Ouderkirk
ONEONTA—The Catskill Symphony Orchestra will present its Annual Poinsettia Pops concert on Saturday, December 13 at SUNY Oneonta’s Goodrich Theater, marking the second year this beloved holiday tradition has come to the Catskill and Leatherstocking regions. Under the baton of Artistic Director Glen Cortese, the concert begins at 7:30 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m.
This year’s performance welcomes jazz vocalist Jeanine Ouderkirk for her debut with the Catskill Symphony Orchestra. A Capital Region favorite who has captivated audiences as the featured soloist for the Schenectady-Saratoga Symphony Orchestra’s Poinsettia Pops since 2021, Ouderkirk is a multi-instrumentalist and music educator whose recent debut album “Nightingale” showcases her artistry alongside New York City pianist Tedd Firth. Inspired by the legendary Bobby McFerrin, Ouderkirk brings vocal brilliance and improvisational sophistication that will add a new dimension of warmth and jazz-infused joy to the evening’s holiday classics, officials said.
