Legendary trumpet player and entertainer Doc Severinsen is scheduled to perform as a part of the Allen Philharmonic’s 15th Anniversary Gala Concert on Saturday, March 2, 2013. 

Severinsen, who worked for 30 years as the sound of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, is loved by audiences world-wide for his incredible musicianship and repertoire which includes pop, jazz, ballads, big band and more. He has produced more than 30 albums and is a Grammy award winner.

When he performs in Allen, he will add the Allen High School band, orchestra and choir and the Allen Philharmonic Symphony to a long list of organizations with which he has collaborated including the Phoenix Symphony, Milwaukee Symphony, Colorado Symphony, and the Minnesota Orchestra.

Richard Giangiulio, Conductor and Music Director for the Allen Philharmonic, sees the March 2 event as a tremendous event for the community. 

“We really want to raise awareness of the great arts and education relationship here in Allen," said Giangiulio. "We have wonderful arts programs that deserve our support and encouragement and this will be a great opportunity to showcase an incredible performer with our professional orchestra and our high school students.”

In addition to the performance, which will be followed by a reception, Severinsen will conduct master classes with Allen High School fine arts students.
