Orlando, FL – January 6, 2005–
The Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra celebrates an early
Valentine’s Day with a program of romantic favorites,
titled My Funny Valentine, on Saturday,
February 5, 2005. Two performances will be held - a
matinee at 2:00 PM and an evening performance at 8:00
PM at the Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre, 401 W. Livingston
Street, Orlando. The concert is sponsored by Delta Air
Lines. The Title Sponsor for the season is Orlando Sentinel
Communications. The Broadcast Sponsor for the Phil at
Carr Series is WKMG Local 6.
Michael Andrew and Swingerhead join Maestro Andrew
Lane and the Orlando Philharmonic to perform some of
the most romantic music even written, including classics
from the Great American Song Book, with a few comedic
twists. Enjoy favorites such as Almost Like Being
in Love, Unforgettable, As Time Goes
By, I’ve Got You Under My Skin and
Stardust.
Andrew, who has always loved swing music, formed The
Michael Andrew Orchestras in 1990 with the goal of providing
timeless music in the style of the big bands of the
forties and in the tradition of popular singers like
Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra. In 1993, the world famous
Rainbow Room in New York City invited Michael to become
their headlining singer and band leader where he performed
5 to 6 nights a week for over two years. Michael currently
enjoys working with his own bands as well as making
frequent guest artist appearances with symphonic orchestras
across the country.
Audiences will be sure to enjoy Michael Andrew with
the Orlando Philharmonic in My Funny Valentine.
Filled with laughter and romance, this program has something
to warm everyone’s heart. Bring your valentine,
bring your mom, bring the kids; My Funny Valentine
promises to be popular with people of all ages.
Tickets to both performances are presently on sale
for $12, $25, $35, $45 and $55. (Students with valid
ID receive half price tickets in select areas.) Tickets

at 407/896-6700, on our website at
