Renée Elise Goldsberry

Tony Award winner Renée Elise Goldsberry — perhaps best known as Angelica Schuyler, who she portrayed in the smash-hit Hamilton — will lend her voice to Pop, Soul and Broadway favorites, joined by the Cincinnati Pops.

With John Morris Russell as conductor, this marks Goldsberry’s first performance in the Queen City. “I call it a celebration of love. I put together a lot of songs people know and love: Pop songs, spiritual songs, Jazz songs,” Goldsberry says.

She adds that the second half of the show features songs she’s known for from Broadway. Aside from her role as Angelica, her credits include Nettie Harris in The Color Purple, Mimi Márquez in Rent and Nala in The Lion King.

8 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets start at $25. Music Hall, 1241 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine, cincinnatisymphony.org.
