On Saturday, January 5, 2019 at 8:00 pm in the Mead Theatre of the Schuster Center, the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra will present the “The Magic of Motown” and the artists to celebrate 50 years of Motown music magic.
The Motortown All-Stars feature vocalists from the ranks of legendary Motown groups including the Capitols, the Miracles and the Temptations. The performance will also deliver the harmonies and the choreography with songs by the Miracles, the Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, the Temptations and more.
Originally the music of Motown was called the “sound of young America,” but it soon became the soundtrack of every generation of Americans. These indelible musical hooks are now part of all aspects of our lives, from movie soundtracks to television commercials to music remixes.
