dear friends,

This fall, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to The New York Pops' 40th season at Carnegie Hall!

For this special anniversary season, we've assembled an incredible line-up of concerts. We’re kicking off this season with John Williams' iconic music for Star Wars on October 21 in a comprehensive, brand-new program. This all-instrumental program will highlight the talents of our 78 orchestra musicians.

This season will also include a program of Broadway Blockbusters and a One Night Only feature with Tony Award winner Heather Headley, two unique holiday concerts with Ingrid Michaelson, and a special performance with cabaret legend Marilyn Maye! Explore all six shows in our 40th season here. 

Each week throughout the season on our social media, we're sharing one favorite memory from each of our 40 years, leading up to the orchestra's 40th Birthday Gala on May 1, 2023. We've seen Liza Minnelli on stage with Skitch Henderson, the orchestra ringing in the New Year in Japan, and so much more - and we're just getting started! You can follow along all season by visiting @thenewyorkpops on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. 

Stay tuned for more details about our 40th Birthday Gala in the coming weeks, and we look forward to seeing you at Carnegie Hall throughout the year as we celebrate this anniversary!
