About

As the colorful music director of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Doc Severinsen gave late-night TV its most memorable music, following every "Heeeere's Johnny!" with a rousing blast from his big band trumpet. The Grammy Award winner continues to dazzle sold-out audiences with his eclectic repertoire, from Ellington and Basie to pop, jazz, and big band classics--and, of course, The Tonight Show theme. Known for wearing outfits only slightly less brassy than his horn, Doc Severinsen brings his unmistakable style to the NSO Pops.

The program runs approximately 2 hours, with one 15-minute intermission.
