Evening at Pops is an American concert television series produced by WGBH-TV.
[1] The program was a public television version of a variety show, featuring performances by the Boston Pops Orchestra.
After concluding their set, the guest artist would leave the stage, and the Pops would play one or two closing numbers.
Three men served as conductor during the show's run – Arthur Fiedler (1970–79), John Williams (1979–95) and Keith Lockhart (1996–2004).
The long-running show ended after its 2004–2005 season because the Pops' parent organization, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, did not want to continue funding the nearly $1 million production cost of each episode.
