July 5, 1970-July 8, 1979.
A recurring summer series, "Evening at Pops" presents the Boston Pops Orchestra, under the direction of Arthur Fiedler (until his death in 1979). Announcer for this series introducing guests, descriptions of musical selections, and intermissions, is William Pierce.
On this broadcast the easy listening music of Ferrante and Teicher. Tonight they bring a swinging new touch to the Stephen Foster song book: from a slow jazzy "Old Folks at Home" to a symphonic rendition of "Camptown Races." The pianists also perform a double-time version of "Malaguena," a haunting concerto woven from "Fiddler on the Roof," and the movie theme from "Exodus."
