Northwest Pops Orchestra

Northwest Pops Orchestra is the Puget Sound region's newest fully professional orchestra specializing in symphonic pops. We play what you want to hear! From Broadway tunes to light classics, movie themes and novelty pieces, we bring the magic of a symphony orchestra to live stages around the Pacific Northwest.

Founded in 2024 by professional freelance musicians from the area's theater pits and orchestras, the board of directors is represented by both patrons and creators who take seriously the work of producing symphonic music experiences that reflect popular culture. Successful programming in 2024 included a full orchestra summer pops concert and holiday dectet of winds, strings and harp, both performed at a senior living communities to high acclaim.

Help Northwest Pops grow and thrive! We are excited to produce our first concert series for the public audience in summer 2025. Our goal is to produce a holiday dectet concert in December 2025 and a full orchestra concert in early 2026, leading to full-season programming. We conduct polls to identify music selections the audience wants to hear and consider ourselves "the people's orchestra." Thank you for your support!
