We ask that you consider a special donation as part of The Rochester Pops efforts to bridge the gap to our future. Under the best of circumstances, and these are surely not the best, ticket sales cover only a portion of the costs associated with POPS’ performances. We rely on your support now more than ever.

Weathering a pandemic as a performing arts organization without knowing when it will end has
thrown performing arts organizations into the unknown. Virtual concerts and smaller non-wind
