Since its founding in 1955, the Tucson Pops Orchestra has delivered outstanding entertainment without admission fees to the Tucson public for the past 70 seasons. Supported by grants, local sponsors, and audience donations, the organization opens their 2025 spring season on Mother’s Day May 11th at 7pm at the DeMeester Outdoor Performance Center at Reid Park, with additional concerts on Sundays May18 and 25. 

Artistic Director and Conductor Khris Dodge, who took over the Maestro position in 2023, endeavors to create programs for each performance that reflect the spirit of the Southwest and the beautiful blend of traditions that inform Tucson’s unique culture. "We are always doing something new and different at each of our concerts, and this Spring season is certainly no exception to that. I truly enjoy working with the great musicians in the orchestra as well as combining their talents with our many guest artists.
