Bobby McFerrin and the Philadelphia Orchestra

Those who remember Bobby McFerrin for only the insipid 'Don't Worry Be Happy' will be interested to learn that he has been conducting orchestras on a regular basis since 1994. A tremendous sense of passion and fun highlight McFerrin's performances, but he doesn't neglect his serious love of classical composition, as the programme of Tchaikovsky's 'Serenade for Strings' and Bizet's Symphony in C Major reflects. For it's part, the Philadelphia Symphony remains one of the most celebrated on the East Coast.
