Berklee Presents Great American Songbook: What About Us—A P!NK Celebration
Berklee’s Signature Series will present Great American Songbook: What About Us—A P!NK Celebration on Thursday, March 5, and Friday, March 6, at 8:00 p.m. at the Berklee Performance Center.
Produced by Maureen McMullan PD ’09, the performance brings together more than 100 Berklee students representing over 30 countries and 21 states for an electrifying salute to P!NK, one of the highest-grossing female touring artists of all time. Through bespoke arrangements and emotionally charged storytelling, the interdisciplinary performance will capture the raw vulnerability, anthemic power, and unshakable spirit that have made P!NK a global superstar.
The two-night event will feature a 23-piece band, including a string quartet and six-piece horn section. In a nod to P!NK's physically expressive performances, the choreography will incorporate acrobatics and circus arts–style movement performed by students in Boston Conservatory at Berklee’s Dance Division, which is home to a minor in cirque/circus arts and the first of its kind in the United States. The concert will highlight original choreography by faculty Ruka Hatua-Saar White and Alexis Beffer, alongside student Journee Brownridge, a senior studying commercial dance.
“This production is both a celebration of P!NK's fearless artistry and a showcase of what's possible when artists and creatives across disciplines are empowered to bring heart, skill, and individuality into the room,” said McMullan. “P!NK has spent more than two decades carving out her own lane—writing her truth, pushing boundaries lyrically and physically, and redefining the live concert experience by always putting the audience at the center. That spirit of authenticity and generosity is exactly what we wanted our students to tap into.”
