Boston Pops

Orchestral rock (May, Jul & Dec)

BOSTON (July 4, 2008)

During the summer, Boston Symphony Orchestra plays popular music, from Broadway tunes to film scores to contemporary hits retooled for strings and woodwinds.

Top calibre musicians truly give every piece perfect polish as only they can. It’s classy and fun.

The highlight of the Boston Pops season is the annual Fourth of July Fireworks spectacle on the Esplanade of the Charles River, an outdoor concert of patriotic hits complete with pyrotechnics and confetti.

It’s a far more melodic rendition of the USA, USA chant.
