Boston Pops Orchestra Tickets Continued

The Boston Pops Orchestra did not adopt its own official conductor until 1930, when Arthur Fiedler began a fifty-year tenure as the Pops conductor. Fiedler's career as the conductor of the Pops brought worldwide acclaim to the orchestra. He was unhappy with the reputation of classical music as being solely for elite, aristocratic, upper-class audiences. Fiedler made efforts to bring classical music to wider audiences. Under Fiedler's direction, the Boston Pops Orchestra allegedly made more commercially available recordings than any other orchestra in the world, with total sales of albums, singles, tapes and cassettes exceeding 50 million. Of the many musical pieces produced over the years, the Boston Pops Orchestra's most famous and popular work is Fiedler's production of Leroy Anderson's "Sleigh Ride".

After Fiedler's death in 1979, the conductorship of the Boston Pops Orchestra was taken over by Academy Award-winning composer John Williams in 1980. Williams continued the orchestra's tradition of bringing classical music to a wider audiences, initiating the annual "Pops-on-the-Heights" concerts at Boston College and adding his own considerable library of well-known movie soundtracks (including the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies) to its repertoire.

Keith Lockhart assumed the post of principal Boston Pops Orchestra conductor in 1995. Lockhart continues to conduct the Boston Pops today, adding a touch of flamboyance and a flair for the dramatic to his performances. Williams remains the Laureate Conductor of the Pops and conducts a week of Pops concerts most years.

The Boston Pops Orchestra regularly performers with guest artists including bands such as Aerosmith and Rockapella.
