Westport Pops Concert Performed By Staples Music Ensembles In June

Information from Westport Public Schools:

WESTPORT, CT — The Westport Pops Concert at the Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts returns this year on Friday, June 7. The sell-out event features the nationally recognized Staples High School Symphonic Orchestra and Band, Jazz Ensemble, Orphenians, Choralaires and other small group ensembles. This musical tradition, hosted by David Pogue, was established in 2016 and is a highly anticipated highlight of the Levitt Pavilion’s Spring programming.

The lawn at the Levitt Pavilion opens for concert-goers at 6:00pm (BYO chair), with the concert beginning at 7:00pm. It promises to be a memorable event with great music, great fun and great food on the premises from area food trucks. Tickets are free, but a suggested donation of $15 per ticket is suggested to help offset the concert's production costs. Tickets can be acquired at staplesmusic.org beginning Wednesday, May 29 at 9:00am on a first-come, first-served basis. In the event of inclement weather, the concert will be performed in the Staples High School auditorium at 70 North Avenue, where tickets will be honored.

This annual concert, modeled on Boston’s fabled Pops on the Esplanade Concert Series, promises to be a memorable musical experience under the stars.
