About The New York Pops: The New York Pops (www.newyorkpops.org) was founded by former NBC Music Director Skitch Henderson in 1983 to give New York a symphonic pops orchestra that would create greater public awareness and appreciation of America's rich musical heritage. Having performed more than 200 concerts at Carnegie Hall, The New York Pops continues to enjoy one of the highest subscription renewal rates of any series at Carnegie Hall. The orchestra has also toured throughout the world and performs free concerts in New York City parks through its Summermusic program. In addition to making its fifth appearance in the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular in 2008, The New York Pops has appeared in nationally syndicated radio series and on PBS. The orchestra's discography includes numerous recordings of popular song, film and theater music, and music for the holidays. The New York Pops' extensive education programs in all five boroughs of New York City allow public schoolchildren to participate in numerous concert and music-making experiences. A recipient of grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, The New York Pops is a not-for-profit corporation supported solely through the generosity of individual donations, institutional grants, and concert income.
