With the always-electric Martin MacDonald on the podium, the NSO dives headfirst into the unforgettable sounds of the 1970s—an era when rock ruled the airwaves, folk tugged at heartstrings, and pop redefined cool.

Winter Pops: That 70s Show

Memorial University of Newfoundland

Considered one of the best vocalists of all time, Karen Carpenter captured the attention of a generation with the surprisingly deep material of her unabashedly catchy pop music. Singer and playwright Lisa Rock has compiled a moving tribute to the music and life of Carpenter, and brings it to the stage with her 6-piece backing band. Dedicated to re-creating the true sound of The Carpenters, Rock and her band showcase some of the most memorable songs of the 70s including “We’ve Only Just Begun,” “Rainy Days and Mondays,” and of course “Close to You.” We are thrilled to welcome this band back after a stellar sold-out show in 2017!
