Lee Holdridge is a legend! He has a wonderful talent for composing music and arrangements for film, television, opera and recording artist. One of the major stars Lee composed symphonic arrangements for was John Denver.
As life-long John Denver fans and long-time tribute artists, you can imagine how thrilled Jim and I were when we first met Lee! It was difficult not to behave like giddy school kids, but we did our best to act like grown-ups and hopefully we didn’t embarrass ourselves too much.
Since our first meeting, Lee has honored us by conducting many of our John Denver symphony shows, featuring Jim singing John Denver’s music with major symphony orchestras. It is always a surreal experience performing with the original arrangements Lee wrote for John, never in our lives could we imagine that we would be doing a tribute performance on that level. But thanks to Lee’s kindness and willingness to work with us in our efforts to preserve and present John’s music, we have a new friend, and we are living a dream come true!
Another major recording star Lee worked with was Neil Diamond. Neil and Lee collaborated on many projects, including the music in the movie “Johnathan Livingston Seagull.”
Now, imagine a show that would put Lee Holdridge and the music of Neil Diamond and John Denver together with members of the La Mirada Symphony Orchestra in one amazing concert…..and you will be imagining the show we will be presenting this May 24 in La Mirada, California! Tribute artists Jim Curry will be singing John Denver, tribute artist Jay White will be singing Neil Diamond, backed by a band and Lee Holdridge conducting the Symphony!
Join us for this exceptional ensemble of musicians and performers that will bring an unforgettable afternoon filled with timeless classics, rich orchestration, and powerful performances that honor the enduring legacy of these American music legends.
