OMG! This Is Such A Sad Development, Philly!

 

Dear Patrons:

For more than four decades, audiences have brought enthusiasm and energy to our performances, matching our joyful sound, note for note. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, a combination of circumstances has led the Philly POPS to make the difficult decision to cease operations following the conclusion of the current 2022–23 season. Until then, we assure you that our planned shows will go on as scheduled.

With support from The Philadelphia Orchestra and Kimmel Center, Inc. (POKC), our leadership team is working to fulfill obligations to our loyal audiences, generous sponsors, and talented musicians, while identifying ways to continue the celebrated tradition of pops programming in Philadelphia.

The POPS will continue to carry out slated programming of the 2022–23 season. For the remainder of our season, every performance will be dedicated to you, our beloved patrons. We are profoundly grateful for your loyal support that has enabled us to delight audiences and encourage future generations of performers through our POPS in Schools programming. You have helped burnish the legacy of pops programming in Philadelphia.

With sincere thanks,

Frank Giordano, President
Joseph DelRaso, Board Chair
