what’s popular?

It’s bringing together different ideas, perspectives and attitudes that unite us as a community and create a common culture. We call our popular music series “Pops!” because the concerts by design are eclectic and energetic, inventive and inspiring. We have something for everyone to enjoy.

Next season, we’ll be joined by Brubeck brothers and Callaway sisters, prominent chefs and circus performers, music and magic from the Lion King and the King of Pop – and you! Join us for six Saturday nights of not-to-be missed entertainment. Subscribe to Pops! today.

Carolyn Kuan and the musicians are all fired up for Playing with Food 3, a new program of delectable sights, sounds, and tastes. Bring your imagination and your appetite as the HSO blends its musical talents with some great culinary artists.
