We’re thrilled to welcome @joanellison39 for IMAGINE:It’s Magic, a concert celebrating the golden age of studio recording and the iconic singers, songwriters and arrangers of the 1950s and ’60s.

Joining us from Cleveland, Joan brings a deep personal connection to this music, from recreating Judy Garland’s legendary 1961 Carnegie Hall concert to restoring long-lost orchestral parts to “Over the Rainbow,” the song that inspired her to sing at age two. For IMAGINE: It’s Magic, Joan hopes audiences feel like they’ve time-traveled...able to forget their worries, soak in the beauty of these original arrangements and leave inspired to revisit a Judy Garland film or cue up a Lena Horne playlist. And yes, she always travels stage-ready, with a gown, heels and snacks packed just in case.
