Let Yourself Go! Variety Show!

January 29th, 2012

Sunday, 3pm

Hits from George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter and More!

The end of January finds the Pops celebrating the Great American Songbook with the biggest hits of Gershwin, Porter, Berlin and everyone else whose songs became standards then and today. From Tin Pan Alley to Radio, from dance halls to our service men and women around the world. The Great American Songbook lets us remember our friends, our families, school days and historic events. It’s a musical record of this great country and these songs stay with us generation after generation.

Broadway Nights!

March 18th, 2012

Sunday, 3pm

Tunes from the Greatest Musicals!

March brings the Pops’ Broadway show with 80 years of American Musical Theater’s best music. It’s not a surprise to you and I that the winners of the Tony Awards this year were revivals of terrific musicals like “Anything Goes” and “How to Succeed in Business”.  So of course we have music from each of these winners in addition to many, many more. And, yes, we will have some you can sing-along with.

Big Band SwingTime!

April 29th, 2012

Sunday, 3pm

Goodman, Dorsey, Miller - Oh Yeah!

    Special Guests
  • The Honeybee Trio
  • The Black Tie Jazz Big Band
  • The end of April is time for our traditional Big Band show with more Miller, Dorsey and Ellington hits than you can shake a stick at. As always we’ll have representation from all the big bands of the 30’s and 40’s and as usual this time of year we augment the 65-piece California Pops with my own 17-piece Black Tie Big Band. Special guests- the Honeybee Trio is well known for their energetic & perfect 3-part harmonies from the '30s & beyond much like the Andrew Sisters! Yes, it gets crowded on stage but hey that’s half the fun. This show always sells out.

The Best of the Pops!

June 10th, 2012

Sunday, 3pm

Your Favorites from 23 years of the California Pops!

We close the season in June with a show we’ve never done before. In 23 seasons we’ve played many tunes and arrangements that both you and the orchestra have loved but because there is SO much popular music and we like to keep each show fresh, sometimes those favorites don’t get played again for 5 or 8 or 15 years! Well, this show fixes that. This show is entirely yours and our favorite Pops tunes from the last 23 seasons. It’s going to be amazing!
