Songs for the Fourth of July

Led by Music Director Steven Reineke, The New York Pops brass and percussion sections have created a mini-concert to kick off your holiday weekend. 

Recorded remotely from the safety of each musician’s home, this three-song montage includes a rousing arrangement of “The Star-Spangled Banner”, the WORLD PREMIERE performance of Steven Reineke’s poignant and powerful new composition “Through A Perilous Storm” (written in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and dedicated to essential workers everywhere), and Reineke’s new arrangement of John Philip Sousa’s most famous march, “The Stars and Stripes Forever”.

Have a Happy 4th of July!
