What is a Pops Orchestra?
A "pops orchestra" is a symphony orchestra that specializes in performing popular music, show tunes, and light classical pieces, often alongside more traditional orchestral works. They aim to be more accessible and engaging for a broader audience than traditional classical orchestras.
Denver Pops Orchestra is a community-based nonprofit organization that has been serving up great music in metro Denver for over 40 years. The 65+ members who volunteer their time and talents represent a variety of ages and vocations. The ensemble aims to serve Denver area communities through performances of familiar music, including a wide range of music from light classical and symphonic to operatic movements, Broadway and movie tunes to dance band and pops compositions. The Denver Pops perform regularly from August through May, offering a variety of concerts, formal dances, benefits, and special events.
