The Syracuse Pops Chorus is kicking off their 20th Anniversary season with a performance at Saint Mary Ann Cope at Saint Cecilia Church (Saint Cecilia’s) on Sunday, May 5th at 3 pm.
This family-friendly program will include music performed by the Pops Chorus over the past 20 years including: Memory (Cats), And All That Jazz (Chicago), Mack the Knife (Three Penny Opera), The Rhythm of Life (Sweet Charity), Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)…and more!
The Syracuse Pops Chorus, directed by Lou Lemos and accompanied by pianist, Lynette Brown, is a group of about 100 highly skilled volunteers who sing for the joy of it. Repertoire consists largely of new choral arrangements of old standards: patriotic anthems, holiday favorites, Broadway and movie music, and songs from the American Songbook.
The group performs regularly with The Syracuse Orchestra (formerly Symphoria), and schedules a variety of concerts both on its own, and with other partner groups every year. These have included sold-out shows at the Redhouse and Palace Theater, and a performance with the Albany Symphony at Paper Mill Island in Baldwinsville.
Admission is $15 at the doo – kids 5 and under are free. You will find plenty of free parking in lots close to the church, and on the street. Saint Cecilia’s Church is located at 100 Woods Road in Solvay, behind the NY State Fairgrounds off of Milton Ave.
The Syracuse Pops Chorus is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Financial support comes primarily from
membership dues, grants, and donations, which help to defray the chorus’ expenses. All donations to the Syracuse Pops Chorus are tax deductible.
