BARRY MANILOW INVITES LOCAL MUSIC STUDENTS BEHIND THE SCENES AT SYMPHONY SHOW WITH THE NEW YORK POPS IN ATLANTIC CITY! MANILOW GIVES BACK FOR ATLANTIC CITY BOARDWALK HALL PERFORMANCE ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 14 Atlantic City, NJ (August 9, 2010) –Dozens of local music students from the Atlantic City Unified School District will be attending the rehearsal for Barry Manilow’s Saturday night show as part of his ongoing commitment to preserving music education. This behind the scenes glimpse of a professional musician crafting a live show is something Manilow and The Manilow Music Project (MMP) have generously offered these students throughout the school district. MMP was formed in response to the needs of public schools and their severely depleted music programs, and works towards highlighting these programs. Additionally, MMP adds these programs in the form of donations of instruments and materials to further music education around the country. Manilow will be performing with the country’s largest pops orchestra, The New York Pops, at Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall on Saturday, August 14th for his only east coast appearance this year. Backed by The New York Pops 60-piece orchestra along with a band and vocalists, “Caesars Atlantic City Presents Barry Manilow with the New York Pops” will showcase the icon’s many hits in addition to songs featured on his new album, “The Greatest Love Songs of All Time.” Opening for Manilow is talk show staple Comedian Gordie Brown and showtime is 8:00 pm. “Music has shaped my life and to give these kids a window into what professional musicians experience is a genuine gift,” says Manilow. Atlantic City's high school music programs will benefit from Manilow’s show by sharing in the proceeds of the special Platinum Experience Tickets. Proceeds from Platinum Experience Tickets go directly to the Manilow Music Project. The Manilow Music Project is part of Manilow’s non-profit, The Manilow Fund for Health and Hope and will put instruments into the hands of middle school and high school students in the Atlantic City Unified School District. Manilow recently began his most celebrated run at the Paris Théâtre at Paris Las Vegas, where he’ll perform more than 78 shows each year for two years. The shows are produced by STILETTO Entertainment in conjunction with AEG Live and Paris Las Vegas. All those who attend the concert at Boardwalk Hall will have the opportunity to win a trip to Paris Las Vegas to see Manilow’s new show. Tickets for “Caesars Atlantic City Presents Barry Manilow with the New York Pops” are available via Ticketmaster.com, Charge by phone 800.745.3000, and at Boardwalk Hall box office.
