Philly Pops celebrates Marvin Hamlisch
Marvin Hamlisch was such a singular sensation that at his unexpected death in 2012 at age 68, some Philadelphians couldn't quite believe he was no longer a candidate to take over the Philly Pops. No surprise, then, that the songwriter/film composer/conductor is the subject of an evening-long tribute by the Philly Pops Friday through Sunday at the Kimmel Center.
