(Palm Beach Gardens, FL – December 26, 2014) Charlotte Laurent-Ottomane, Executive Director of The Palm Beach Pops, today announced
that South Florida’s most loved pops orchestra is welcoming Frank Sinatra, Jr., as he launches his father’s centennial, with the original arrangements that define the sound of the Sinatra legend.
