The evening began with a champagne reception at 5:30 p.m., followed by the event program and performance at 6:30 p.m., accompanied by a dinner with wine pairings. New York Pops Music Director and Conductor Steven Reineke hosted the evening.
The PopsEd alumni ensemble, featuring young musicians who had previously participated in the orchestra’s Kids on Stage program, also performed as part of the evening. Kids on Stage was a youth mentorship program that provided students from all five boroughs access to the professional performance process, including a comprehensive rehearsal period and performance with the orchestra on the Carnegie Hall stage.
