APOPSCALYPSE - 2012 Harvard Pops Spring Concert!

It is finally here -- the year to end it all! And what better way to spend it than joining our brave heroes in a time-traveling adventure into the past? After an initial Overture to Candide (Bernstein), you may just find yourself swept into a different millennium, far before 2012, but close to a shocking apocalypse of its own.  

When our time travelers are quite literally thrown into A Whole New World (Menken), they are joined by a new companion, a young Sorcerer's Apprentice (Dukas). Unfortunately, things take a turn for the worse when the apprentice's master, an evil wizard, discovers and imprisons our heroes -- a truly Les Misérables(Schönberg) situation. 

Will our time traveling heroes be able to outsmart the evil wizard and his apocalyptic plans, and eventually make it Back to the Future (Douglas)? Will they be able to successfully complete a quest as epic as that of The Lord of the Rings (Shore) on their own? Or will they need some Fuel (Metallica) to help them? Whether you do or do not buy into the apocalypse hype, be sure to join us for this epic concert. By the end, you won't help but declare: "I'm a Believer (Diamond)!"
