The Pops Orchestra

The Pops Orchestra of Bradenton and Sarasota is one of Florida's premier pops orchestras, performing a wide variety of music from classical favorites to Broadway hits, movie themes, and popular music.

Our musicians are among the finest in the region, bringing decades of professional experience to every performance. We are proud to call the Suncoast our home. Each season we welcome world-class guest artists to join our orchestra on stage, creating unforgettable evenings of live music for our audiences.

Beyond our concert series, The Pops Orchestra is deeply committed to music education in our community through youth programs, student scholarships, and our annual summer music camp.

This 2026-27 season, Like No Other, will absolutely live up to its name! From the first downbeat, The Pops will provide entertaining programming, community collaborations, and music from the soundtrack of your lives. Each show is carefully crafted to form a season of selections at the intersection of popular music and symphonic orchestrations. Our guest artist styles range from rock ‘n’ roll, holiday, Broadway, and ‘80s pop music to classically trained virtuosos. You won’t want to miss a single performance!

We can't wait for you to join us at either the Riverview Performing Arts Center in Sarasota, The Sarasota Opera House or the SCF Performing Arts Center in Bradenton for our concerts. Single show ticket prices range from $35 to $65. More information and tickets are available at ThePopsOrchestra.org.
