MSO Valentine Pops Concert
The Monroe Symphony Orchestra held a Valentine Pops concert on Saturday, February 9th at the Monroe Civic Center. The concert featured the jazz vocals of Mandy Harvey, an award-winning singer and songwriter who is deaf and took part in the 12th season of America’s Got Talent. She finished fourth on the show and was Simon Cowell’s “golden ticket” selection. The audience took place in a table decorating contest and went all out with hearts, candy and love. Everyone enjoyed songs perfect for Valentine’s Day, including “The Way You Look Tonight,” “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “When I Fall In Love,” and “Smile.” The event was sponsored by Audibel the Hearing Center, a local hearing aid business, owned by Larry Collum and Cherry Phillips.
