Tony Award winners Idina Menzel and Anika Noni Rose will premiere the piece, which was commissioned for the Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks. Liz Smith hosts the concert, which honors the tenth anniversary of Feinstein's at Loews Regency and its co-creators Michael Feinstein and Jonathan Tisch.

Steven Reineke conducts The New York Pops, and the 7 PM evening also boasts performances by Tony Award winners Brian Stokes Mitchell and Barbara Cook as well as Cheyenne Jackson, Brian d'Arcy James, Ashford & Simpson, Tony Martin, Sara Caswell and cabaret favorite Feinstein.

Joining the orchestra onstage will be 20 junior high school-aged students from The New York Pops' Salute to Music education program who will perform "Conjunction Junction" and "Figure Eight" with "Schoolhouse Rock" composer Bob Dorough.

A dinner dance at the Pierre Hotel will follow the gala concert.
