NY Pops music director and conductor Steven Reineke will lead the 8 PM concert at Carnegie Hall that will showcase Schwartz's prolific career from stage and screen, including "Magic To Do" from Pippin, "Colors of the Wind" from "Pocahontas," "The Spark of Creation" from Children of Eden, as well as songs from Wicked, including "The Wizard and I" and "For Good."

Murney (The Wild Party, Falling) and Tony Award nominee Thompson (Nice Work If You Can Get It) are both veterans of Wicked, having played Elphaba and Glinda, respectively. Jordan is a Tony Award nominee for Newsies and Lewis received his first Tony nomination for The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess last season.

The evening will also include Judith Clurman's Essential Voices USA.

A five-time Tony nominee for the scores of Pippin, Godspell, Working, Wicked and his lyrics for Rags, Schwartz has earned Academy Awards for "Pocahontas" and "The Prince of Egypt." He earned three Academy Award nominations for his work on "Enchanted." Schwartz also received Grammy Awards for the recordings of Wicked, Godspell and "Pocahontas." His opera Séance on a Wet Afternoon debuted at New York City Opera in 2011.
