The musical magic of Dean Karahalis and the “Concert Pops” of Long Island will be on display at Eisenhower Park’s Lakeside Theatre on Saturday, July 5, at 7:30 p.m., announced Nassau County Executive Thomas R. Suozzi. Admission is free.

The Pops orchestra showcases the music of Broadway, Hollywood and Irving Berlin, led by director/conductor Dean Karahalis, known for a vivacious style that draws the audience into each performance. The orchestra is made up of 30 of New York’s finest musicians (woodwinds, brass and percussion), who perform regularly with Broadway shows and at such venues as Radio City Music Hall and the Metropolitan Opera. The orchestra has been recognized by the New York State Council of the Arts for its quality performances for over two decades.
