An American icon comes home. During the early years of his career, Henry Mancini and his family lived right here in Northridge. We honor the master with a tribute to his film scores and beloved standards. It’s a family affair — starring daughter Monica Mancini and son-in-law Gregg Field front a full orchestra in an evening ranging from “The Pink Panther Theme” to “Moon River,” celebrating the man who was nominated for an astounding 18 Academy Awards and 72 Grammys.
