Set against the backdrop of a transformative creative era\, the production explores the rise of style as power—and the personal cost of living under constant attention.\nEmerging from a city that turned industry into imagination\, Pop Couture celebrates Pittsburgh’s legacy of bold art\, striking image-making\, and cultural influence. A place where media\, fame\, and experimentation reshaped how America experiences creativity. \n“Heinz Hall is proud to host this year’s Ecolution Fashion Gala\, uniting fashion\,\ncreativity\, and community in a way that reflects both the spirit of the event and the\ncharacter of the venue\,” said James Santilli\, Sr. VIP and Chief Revenue &;\nExperience Officer at Heinz Hall. “Showcasing local designers and artists within this\niconic space is a natural and fitting partnership.” \nBlending high-impact choreography\, music channeling the energy of the 60’s\, and couture-inspired design\, Pop Couture tells the story of a generation captivated by image\, visibility\, and artistic rebellion. The production captures a moment when fashion became performance\, art became industry\, and fame emerged as the ultimate currency.\nAt its core\, Pop Couture: Fashion\, Fame; Obsession is a meditation on identity and influence—on what it means to be a muse\, an icon\, and a creation of the very world that elevates you. Through choreographed movement and striking visual composition\, the show examines how obsession with beauty and recognition can both empower and consume. \n“It’s more than a fashion show\, it’s a celebration of creativity\, innovation\, and a commitment to a greener future\,” said Emilio Cornacchione\, Producer & Hair and Makeup Director for Ecolution and owner of Izzazu Salon\, Spa &; Blowout Bar. \nDesigned as a contemporary\, dance-forward theatrical experience\, Pop Couture appeals to audiences drawn to fashion\, pop art\, and culturally resonant expression. With its sleek aesthetic\, emotionally charged performances\, and immersive atmosphere\, the production feels both nostalgic and urgently modern. Arriving the same week the NFL Draft brings the world to Pittsburgh\, Pop Couture offers visitors and residents alike an electrifying cultural destination beyond the stadium. For those celebrating spectacle\, performance\, and larger-than-life moments\, the production\ndelivers a high-fashion\, high-energy night that mirrors the excitement of the city during draft week. \nAbout the Production\nPop Couture is a multidisciplinary stage production that fuses dance\, music\, and fashion-inspired design to tell a story of art\, ambition\, and allure. The work celebrates creative expression while interrogating the myths—and consequences—surrounding fame\, obsession\, and visibility. \nTwo ticket tiers available:\n● Reserved Seating\n● VIP Seating & Experience\nVIP Hour: The Pop Couture Soirée\n6:00 – 7:30 PM | Heinz Hall Foyer\nBefore the main event\, VIP guests will enjoy The Pop Couture Soirée\, an exclusive lounge-style reception in the Heinz Hall foyer featuring:\n● Passed hors devours\, catered by Executive Chef Nicholas Saxon from the Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel\n● Two signature cocktails \nProduction Team\n● Executive Producer &; Concept Creator: Ronda Zegarelli\n● Producer & Creative Director (Graphics Video): Gary Kalinosky\n● Branding and Video Visuals: Gary Kalinosky\n● Producer & Hair and Makeup Director: Emilio Cornacchione\n● Director: Patrick Jordan\n● Writer: Melissa Martin\n● Fashion Director: Brian David\n● Music Director: Rod Schwartz\n● Dance Director: Keeley Hernandez\n● Set Designer: Kellan Anderson \n● Technical Directory: Heather Ankley\n● Lead Costume Designer & Consultant: Virginia Nicoll\n● Camera/iMag – Randy Griffith \nAdditional Crew\n● Sponsorship Director – Anthony Alfonsi\n● Director of Operations & Communication – Jaime Moore\n● Project Manager – Gabby Pogel\n● Graphic Designer – Jillian Satterfield \nBand Credits\n● Vocals – Scott Blasey\n● Vocals – Holly Scott\n● Vocals – Sarah Siplak\n● Vocals\, Guitar – Josh Verbanets\n● Keyboards – Terry Divelbliss\n● Keyboards\, Sax\, Flute\, Vocals – Tim Pollock\n● Bass and Music Director – Rod Schwartz\n● Guitar\, Vocals – Steve Seel\n● Drums – Ken Zenkevich\n● Percussion – Tracy Whorton\n● Trumpet – Jeff Martin\n● Trombone – Perry Pinto\n● Technician – Scott Kellar \nEvent Details\nEvent: 2026 Ecolution\nTheme: POP COUTURE: Fashion\, Fame & Obsession \nDate: Monday\, April 20\, 2026\nLocation: Heinz Hall\, Downtown Pittsburgh\nTickets On Sale NOW: https://www.pittsburghsymphony.org/production/105694\nWebsite: https://pittsburghearthday.org/ecolution/ \nAudience: Open to the public; ideal for NFL fans\, eco-advocates\, fashion insiders\, and cultural explorers \nMedia\, Sponsorship Partner Inquiries\nFor sponsorship or partnership opportunities\, please contact:\nAnthony Alfonsi\nSponsorship Director\nPittsburgh Earth Day\nanthonyalfonsi58@gmail.com \nFor media passes and interviews\, please contact:\nJaime Moore\nDirector of Operation & Communications\nPittsburgh Earth Day\njaime@acrobatiquecreative.com\n______________________________________________________________________ \nABOUT ECOLUTION FASHION GALA\nEcolution Fashion Gala\, presented by Huntington Bank\, is produced by The Green Voice\nCollective and made possible by the generous support of Huntington Bank\, Pitt Ohio\,\nCarmeuse\, Mitsubishi Electric\, UPMC and UPMC Health Plan\, Federated Hermes\, Covestro\,\nKoppers\, S&B USA\, Alcosan\, #1 Cochran\, Levin\, Heinz Hall\, IZZAZU Salon\, Spa and Blowout\nBar\, VISIT Pittsburgh\, DITTO Printing\, TABLE Magazine\, Audacy Radio including KDKA Radio\,\nStar 100.7FM\, WAMO\, Y108\, The Lindbergh Foundation\, Davines\, City of Pittsburgh\, Pittsburgh\nDowntown Partnership\, Mayor’s Office City of Pittsburgh\, Allegheny County. \nABOUT PITTSBURGH EARTH DAY\nPittsburgh Earth Day 2026: Earth Day.
