dear friends,

Welcome to The New York Pops' 40th season at Carnegie Hall!

I am so excited to share that we will honor Barry Manilow at our 40th Birthday Gala on May 1! For this important birthday, we needed a Music Honoree to match, and we're thrilled to be celebrating the music of a true pop music icon.

We're hard at work on the program for this concert, which will feature many of Barry's favorite artists and friends performing his timeless hits. New York Pops donors of $100 or more receive early access to our 40th Birthday Gala. Tickets go on sale to the general public on February 1, 2023 at 11:00 AM. Guest artists will be announced soon!

Before we get together for our 40th Birthday Gala, we have two more terrific concerts planned in our subscription season at Carnegie Hall. On February 10, One Night Only: An Evening with Heather Headley will feature the Tony-winning singer performing songs from Aida, The Lion King, and much more. Then on March 24, we'll welcome The Marvelous Marilyn Maye to Carnegie Hall, just days before the legendary cabaret singer's 95th birthday! 

I'm so glad we're kicking off the new year with Heather Headley, Marilyn Maye, and the music of Barry Manilow. We hope to see you there!
