Experience the iconic Carole King album, Tapestry, in a thrilling new way with Luke Frazier at the piano, members of APO, and Billboard chart-topping singer-songwriter MORGXN! With hits like 'I Feel the Earth Move,' 'You’ve Got a Friend,' 'Beautiful,' and many more, you're sure to fall in love with this timeless album all over again!
Nashville-born artist MORGXN (Morgan Isaac Karr) first broke through with his 2018 debut vital, featuring the Top 10 Alternative hit “home” with Walk The Moon. A former cast member of Broadway’s Spring Awakening, he’s since performed at major festivals like Lollapalooza and toured with X Ambassadors, Skylar Grey, and more. His music has been featured across major TV networks, and his viral single “WONDER” led to a live duet with Sara Bareilles on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
In 2022, MORGXN joined The American Pops Orchestra for a landmark PBS program celebrating LGBTQ+ stories, and in 2023, earned an Emmy for a reimagining of Where the Wild Things Are. His latest album BEACON (2024) debuted on The Kelly Clarkson Show, launching a new chapter of creative independence.
Offstage, MORGXN lives on a farm near Nashville with his husband, where they host community events and grow a fruit orchard. He also leads What Is Vital, a nonprofit supporting independent art projects nationwide.
The American Pops Orchestra has made it a priority to not only maintain Pre-COVID content in a virtual form, but also create new content to keep our audience engaged and our musicians employed. As an organization that strives to break the mold of concerts, we are using COVID-19 to reimagine our normal operations. Since March we have streamed two full original concerts, created solo performances by instrumentalist and vocalists, rethought our Music and Mindfulness series as a more often and virtual event, and partnered with organizations across the country in our virtual trivia series.
In addition, APO has held multiple in-person socially distanced outdoor Porch Concerts that provide our audience with the opportunity to safely see live art despite the current situation around us. Throughout the pandemic, APO has employed hundreds of musicians and artists and in a time when many other organizations couldn’t. In the words of Maestro Luke Frazier, “we never stopped.”
Moving forward, APO is proud to present our NextGen National vocal competition which will include students from across the country competing virtually for the chance to win a monetary prize and the opportunity to perform in a future APO MainStage Show. This will include a virtual audition and semi-finals with a live (COVID permitting) finals in Spring of 2021. APO has also filmed multiple productions that will be broadcast nationally on PBS. APO has been grateful to keep creating and making music despite the limitations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and will keep working to bring you, our valued audience, original and unique content.
