Marni Nixon sings with Military Academy Band

West Point Vocalist Marni Nixon will be featured as a part of the United States Military Academy Band’s inaugural guest artist concert series. Entitled “The Voice of Hollywood,” the performance will be held at West Point’s Eisenhower Hall Theatre on Friday, Feb. 2 at 7:30 p.m. Accompanied by the United States Military Academy Band, Nixon will present a variety of selections, including music from “The King and I,” “West Side Story” and “My Fair Lady.” Nixon’s career includes opera, chamber and symphony performances, as well as Grammy-nominated recordings under conductors Previn, Mehta, Stravinsky, Stokowski, Slatkin and Bernstein. Her awards include four Emmys for Best Actress on her children’s TV show Boomerang, two gold records for songs for “Mary Poppins” and “Mulan” and two classical Grammy nominations. She is, perhaps, most noted as the dubbed singing voice of Margaret O’Brien in “The Secret Garden,” Ingrid Bergman in “Joan of Arc,” Natalie Wood in “West Side Story,” Audrey Hepburn in “My Fair Lady” and Deborah Kerr in “An Affair to Remember” and “The King and I.” Allow extra travel time for the 100% vehicle and photo I.D. inspection at Stony Lonesome and Thayer gates.
