dear friends,

When we gather for the first concert of our 39th season on December 17, 2021, it will have been nearly two years since The New York Pops took the stage at Carnegie Hall. In those two years, we’ve kept the music playing through online performances and other digital projects, but nothing can compare to the full orchestra performing the music we hold dear for all of you in a packed house. I’m so thrilled that we’ll be together again soon.

This season is sure to be a joy. We kick things off in December with “Back Home for the Holidays” featuring the great Laura Benanti. On February 4, 2022, we’ll celebrate the legendary arranger-composer Nelson Riddle in “Get Happy: That Nelson Riddle Sound” with my dear friends Tony DeSare and Capathia Jenkins. Finally, on March 4, 2022, we’ll reunite with Norm Lewis for “One Night Only” to debut an all-new program highlighting his career on stage.

Subscriptions and single tickets are currently on sale for all three performances – secure your seat today!

Your support during the two years away from the stage ensured that The New York Pops made it to our 39th season despite the challenges we faced. Now, as we prepare to hold performances once again, we hope you will consider making a donation to our 2021-2022 Annual Fund. Your contribution today will support the orchestra, our PopsEd students and teaching artists, and our staff through this momentous 39th season and beyond.
