“In these unprecedented times, the musicians and staff of The Rochester Pops particularly appreciate the support that we’ve received. 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.

Latest News
Weathering a pandemic as a non-profit organization without knowing when it will end has
thrown performing arts and musicians into the unknown. Virtual concerts and smaller non-wind
ensembles have done an amazing job keeping people connected while still encouraging musicians
to rehearse and work towards the goal of knowing we will all be back together in an ensemble setting
at some point. We thank you so much for hanging in there with us during this unprecedented time
… please know that we miss you just as much as you miss us!
