CINCINNATI POPS ORCHESTRA

The 'Cincinnati Pops Orchestra' is a pops orchestra based in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, founded in 1977. Erich Kunzel, celebrating his 30th season with the orchestra in 2005–2006, continues to lead the Pops today.
It was Maestro Max Rudolf who, in 1965, invited Erich Kunzel, then a young conductor on the faculty of Brown University, to join the Cincinnati Symphony. That October the Dartmouth graduate, who had been personal assistant to the great French conductor Pierre Monteux, conducted his first sold-out 8 O'Clock Pops concert. From this orchestra thee eventually sprang the Cincinnati Pops. It was the beginning of a modern orchestral legend and, 30 years later, the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra under its first and only conductor is still performing for packed houses in Cincinnati's Music Hall and gaining new fans the world over through tour performances and its recordings on the Telarc label.
