Boone’s striking vocal talents will be on full display when she takes the Orr stage in an intimate musical tribute to her late mother-in-law, the legendary singer Rosemary Clooney. “I selected several songs that I feel create a musical portrait of Rosemary,” says Boone. Though some songs—“Blue Skies,” “Mood Indigo,” “Time After Time,” “In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning”—were either recorded or often performed onstage by the “Girl Singer,” Boone included other tunes for more personal and intimate family reasons. For Boone, Reflections of Rosemary is more than just a performance; it is a deeply heartfelt and emotional tribute to a woman for whom she had great love and respect.
