The Peoples’ Pops Orchestra performs crowd pleasing renditions of iconic hits you know and love! 

Our Mission

At Seattle Theatre Group, we believe in the transformative power of music and the richness of diversity in the arts. As the Music Director of our iconic venues – the Paramount, Moore and Neptune Theatres, and Remlinger Farms concert venue – I have witnessed the immense talent of underrepresented musicians, who, despite their abilities, may not have had the performance opportunities necessary to hone their musical talents.

The People’s Pops Orchestra was founded with a clear mission: to break the cycle that limits the diversity of musicians qualified to perform in high-profile shows like Broadway musicals, celebrity concerts, and pop and rock performances. Too often, musicians are not on the short list of musicians called to join orchestras due to the “Catch 22” of needing experience to be considered, while never being given the opportunity to gain that experience.

Our orchestra is a groundbreaking blend of fully experienced musicians and those needing only some of that key experience. Through performances as well as dedicated mentorship, strategic preparation, and rigorous rehearsal, we will empower underrepresented talent, giving them the chance to perform alongside seasoned professionals, to fast-track their path to success.
