Kroks at Carnegie Hall, March 7–9, 2008
It was certainly the most exciting Krok event in years — an entire weekend surrounding our concert at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall, which featured our guests the Yale Whiffenpoofs and Princeton Tigertones! Our alums, families, and friends sold out the Hall and enjoyed wall-to-wall events, including a banquet highlighted by the eruption from the wall of a massive painting, presumably overcome with emotion. If you’re curious what happened, or are itching to remember, click here for the schedule of events past.
If you’d like to write us about the weekend, or you have photos to share, please contact nyc08@kroks.com. We will post photos and reflections to this website ASAP.
Many thanks to all who came. You made it an astonishing weekend of brotherhood and song across three generations.
Nunc est cantandum!
Just How DO You Get to Carnegie Hall?
Krok alum Stuart Malina ’84 has heard that riddle a lot lately — and he knows the answer, having practiced, practiced, practiced his way to the pinnacle of the conducting world. On February 9th, Maestro Malina made his Carnegie Hall debut with the New York Pops, to a sold-out hall.
Malina thrilled the audience with an all-Gershwin evening, which elicited rapturous responses from the local crowd (including a swelling shout of “Stuuuuu!” that just may have come from the Krok alums in attendance). His interpretation of “Rhapsody in Blue,” conducted from the piano keyboard, brought the packed house to its feet.
In 2003 Malina received the coveted Tony Award for Best Orchestration, for his work on Billy Joel and Twyla Tharp’s Movin’ Out. Currently he is Music Director for the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra (read more about Stu at his website). We like to think all this success grew naturally out of his experience as Music Director for the Krokodiloes in 1984 — and not, as some have claimed, in spite of it.
