Since establishing the Pops genre in 1885, the year of the orchestra’s founding, the Boston Pops has cultivated an impressive library of music reflecting over a century of America’s wide-ranging musical tastes. “The Best of the Boston Pops” draws from the 3,400 titles in the orchestra’s library including music prepared by some of the best arrangers and composers from every generation since the orchestra’s founding. This vast collection includes everything from Beatles medleys, college fight songs, American songbook classics, film music, Broadway scores for full orchestra, Jazz standards, full-length symphonies, sing-alongs for every occasion, contemporary Pop hits, as well as original works commissioned for the one and only Boston Pops Orchestra. The full range of this broad repertoire will be on display on May 22 and 25 for “The Best of the Boston Pops” concerts under the energetic leadership of the BSO’s Youth and Family Concerts Conductor Thomas Wilkins. Audiences can look forward to music by Bernstein, Copland, Rodgers, swinging favorites by Ellington and Gershwin (including a performance of Rhapsody in Blue), rock classics from Queen, and the soaring film music of Boston Pops Conductor Laureate John Williams.
